MET Labs was the first Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory, and has the accreditations and experience to do this product safety testing and certification.

We also perform telecom testing to NOM-152 (Digital 2M) for Mexico.

Normally, NOM certifications can only be obtained in-country. However, an exception is made in these instances where the UL and CSA standards are similar to the NOM standards.Only those laboratories that meet ISO/IEC Guide 65, are approved by OSHA as NRTLs, and as a Certification Bodyby the SCC, will be recognized as third party testing organizations for products shipped into Mexico. We meet all these criteria and more!
