MET
Laboratories is a pioneer in NEBS testing.
We perform all required NEBS testing at
one fully equipped facility on either
coasts. MET's extensive capabilities include
complete, Verizon-certified
NEBS testing facilities, in Baltimore,
MD, Santa Clara, CA and Union City, CA.
MET can save you time and money by creating
a custom test program integrating domestic
and international regulatory compliance
with the NEBS testing. MET's one-stop
approach eliminates the need to coordinate
testing among multiple test facilities.
As a Conformity Assessment Body (CAB)
under the US-EU Mutual Recognition Agreement,
MET's testing to ETSI requirements has
even more value.
Along with superior capabilities, MET
has the customer service to match. Whether
it is a mature product or a product in
the initial design, MET will work with
you to obtain complete compliance.

Four
in-house labs at each MET NEBS facility
afford flexible scheduling and complete
testing to NEBS requirements:
Additional
requirements include an NRTL evaluation
for electrical product safety.
 |
| MET
provides the NRTL
certification for electrical product
safety which is referenced in NEBS
and OSHA requirements. MET was the
first licensed NRTL in the country,
and continues to be top-ranked. |
MET
has developed a keen understanding of the
complexity of NEBS requirements. At MET,
each test program is customized, based on
factors such as equipment type, installation
conditions, and location.
These factors must be properly addressed
prior to testing in order to avoid costly
and time-consuming re-testing. We stay current
on changes to the requirements or applicability
of the various RBOCs (Regional Bell Operating
Companies), so we can provide the most up-to-date
service available.

Service
MET
sets the standards for customer service
by which other labs are measured.
MET employs full-time project coordinators
who serve as customer liaisons to assure
the smoothest possible test program. Our
NEBS coordinators are knowledgeable in
NEBS requirements and MET staff, facilities,
and procedures. Each Baltimore and Union
City NEBS team represents the four labs
specializing in different aspects of NEBS.
The NEBS coordinators work together as
a team with the project engineers and
with customers. The customer is always
able to interface directly with MET engineers
and NEBS coordinators. The customer is
always welcome to send a representative
to witness the testing.
MET has several customer lounges, and
provides fax, copy, and internet services.
Additionally, our proprietary METrak
Online service gives the customer
the tools to track testing progress in
real time, online, from any internet-ready
location.
If anomalies are discovered in the test
results, the customer will be updated
immediately. MET's experienced professionals
will quickly assist in attaining reasonable,
cost effective solutions. Without delay,
we can re-test to evaluate the solutions.
MET offers the most flexible test schedule
in the testing industry. We can work every
day of the year, at every hour of the
day.
MET can save you time and money by creating
a custom test program which integrates
domestic and international regulatory
compliance for NEBS. For more information,

Recognition
MET's
designation as a Verizon-certified Independent
Test Laboratory for NEBS highlights the
recognition of MET certification by all
of the nation's RBOCs. MET has earned
this recognition by working closely with
the RBOCs to apply NEBS standards to their
requirements. MET also works closely with
AT&T and their NEDS standards.
By working so closely with the RBOCs,
MET has developed a report format that
provides a level of detail which exceeds
their expectations. This reduces the need
for further scrutiny and accelerates the
evaluation time of the purchasers. As
an independent third party and an NRTL,
MET delivers reports that provide additional
credibility.
By working closely with manufacturers,
holding regular, timely NEBS
seminars and workshops on both coasts,
and providing consultation services at
the manufacturers' facilities, MET keeps
the process as surprise-free as possible.
Reliable
products get to the market first when
tested by MET.
