Manufacturers of E-Mobility Systems, Lithium-Ion Batteries Enhance Product Surveillance, Increase Consumer Safety


Long Beach, California, Aug 27, 2024 – ACT Lab has expanded their scope of services, now providing product "certification" for manufacturers and suppliers of electric bicycles, electric scooters, micromobility and lithium-ion battery-powered products. This next-level ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation attests to the organization's conformity assessment, now meeting the requirements for bodies certifying products, processes, and services – something which many distributors and retailers now require for additional safety of these extremely popular electrical products worldwide.

"Our ISO 17065 accreditation displays our continued dedication to delivering the services our customers require," states John Bogler, ACT Lab President and one of the leads within the Cotecna Consumer Product Services (CPS) Group. Bogler continued, "We are committed to constantly evolving our business to meet the needs of the industries we serve through additional services and support beyond just testing."

Product certification provides detailed oversight of the manufacturing process through ongoing surveillance and auditing utilizing specific certification "schemes." These scheme-types can involve batch certifications, conformity checks, and periodic market or production sampling, all of which provide buyers greater confidence of the quality and safety.
