You might think the most impressive part of an automatic car wash is getting your car's tires to line up on the conveyor track. But the real engineering marvel is everything happening behind the scenes. Every day, more than 8.2 million vehicles pass through automatic car washes, relying on complex electrical systems designed to operate safely in a wet, demanding environment. At #Intertek, we work with manufacturers to help ensure those systems meet applicable electrical safety standards. From payment stations and conveyor tracks to electrical control panels and overhead dryers, our experts test and inspect equipment in both the lab and the field, helping verify compliance with safety, design, and performance requirements that reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other hazards. The next time you pull into a car wash, take a moment to appreciate what's happening in the background. It's a safety and engineering feat hiding in plain sight.

The global toy market is worth over $120 billion, and somewhere in that pile of blocks, rattles, and teething rings is a baby who is about to put all of it straight in their mouth. That is not a bug. It is a feature. Babies explore the world mouth-first, using the dense concentration of nerve endings around their lips and tongue to figure out texture, shape, and size. It is basically their version of a product review. At #Intertek, we test children's toys to evaluate their materials, structural strength, design, and how they hold up during real-life play – including the part where everything becomes a chew toy. We simulate how kids actually use products, so that by the time a toy reaches small hands, it has already been through its paces. From the teething ring to the stacking blocks in the background, there is more testing behind that toy box than most parents ever see.

Surgical robots are transforming the operating room. But the regulatory path to market is complex.  It's not just IEC 80601-2-77. Manufacturers also need to address ISO 14971 for risk management, IEC 62304 for software validation, IEC 81001-5-1 for cybersecurity, and interface conditions with every piece of equipment the robot operates alongside. Miss one, and you're facing costly delays or a failed certification.  Intertek helps medical robot manufacturers navigate all of it, from design through global launch. Our Medical Robots Testing & Certification fact sheet covers exactly how.  📄 Download it here: https://lnkd.in/gAy4aXf9  #Intertek #TotalQualityAssured #MedicalDevices #RegulatoryAffairs #ISO14971 #IEC62304

Most people will never set foot on an oil rig or inside a chemical plant. But the men and women who work in these environments every day rely on real-time visibility across their entire worksite, and in remote, hazardous locations, that's a serious engineering challenge. Spectrum Camera Solutions builds explosion-proof cameras for exactly these environments, giving operations teams a live view of even the most dangerous corners of a worksite. Their cameras also connect to Starlink for high-speed internet, no matter how far offshore or off-grid the location. The catch? Installing a Starlink terminal in a hazardous industrial zone comes with strict compliance requirements that, until recently, had no clear solution in the industry. #Intertek worked with Spectrum to change that. Through our ETL Panel Builder Certification Program, we certified Spectrum's industrial control panels to house Starlink terminals within enclosures that meet the requirements for hazardous locations. A world first. The result: seamless satellite connectivity on worksites where it had never been possible before.

Hurricane season has its own version of “Here I come.” Storms form. Forecasts shift. Wind-driven rain, cyclic pressure, and flying debris can test the building envelope before a storm makes landfall. Hurricane-force winds begin at 74 mph, but the strongest storms can produce sustained winds exceeding 150 mph, putting every component of the building envelope to the test. Windows, doors, curtain walls, roofing systems, shutters, and other exterior assemblies have to perform when conditions change. One weak point can let water in, shift internal pressure, and turn a storm event into a bigger building problem. #Intertek tests building products for the hurricane market long before a storm is in the forecast. Our work includes impact resistance, cyclic pressure, air, water, and structural performance testing, along with support for Florida Product Approval and Miami-Dade Notices of Acceptance. So when hurricane season says, “Here I come,” tested products have already faced wind, water, impact, and pressure.

The products our pets use every day matter more than most people realize, and even the smallest flaw, like a tear or a loose part, can become a real problem. In fact, over 66% of U.S. households have a pet, and most owners consider them part of the family. That means safety, durability, and quality aren't just product features; they help protect beloved companions. #Intertek Assuris has spent more than 20 years evaluating pet products using specialized testing methods designed to mimic real-world pet behavior. Our experts have developed custom fixtures that can chew, pull, thrash, and scratch products to assess durability, identify potential failure points, and evaluate hazards that could pose choking or gastrointestinal obstruction risks. By helping ensure pet products meet rigorous safety and quality expectations, we support the trust pet owners place in the products they bring into their homes every day.
