1. January 2007, MET provided its first seminar series in China. This two day event, held in Shenzhen, discussed regulatory requirements of both NEBS and consumer products for the North American marketplace. Partner labs SGS China, Hong Kong Standards and Testing Center - STC, Shenzhen Academy of Metrology and Quality Inspection - SMQ and ROHS expert Dr. Craig Hillman of DfR Solutions, Rockville, MD joined MET to provide a wide range of information.

MET's expanding role in Asia included certifying Hauwei China's in-house Reliabilty Lab for NEBS testing and certifying Mitsubishi Electric of Nagasaki, Japan for Category Certification Program. This certification applies to a product line of video display units that when assembled in the field, form the large viewing screens employed in arenas and ballparks. The Category Certification Program allows a client to supply their own test and evaluation data and reports in our format for certification. These programs requires auditing, witnessing and confidence building.

MET has added automated testing of watthours meters to its myriad of testing services. The WECO 2300 True Three Phase Automated Electric Meter Test System (pictured above) is a microprocessor controlled single station KWH comparator and KW demand testing unit. The 2300 meter test system is of modular construction, and is designed to test both socket meters, and A base meters with the proper A base adapter installed.

With the advent of deregulation of electric utilities, MET has seen a marked increase in the request of watt-hour meter manufacturers asking MET to perform accuracy and safety testing.

MET is always aware of our customers unique testing needs and constantly adds test equipment and upgrades software to minimize the time spent testing your product.
