Medical Safety Testing
End-to-end testing, certification, and evaluation helping you ensure the conformity of your Medical Electrical Equipment to product safety & essential performance requirements for global product approvals.

An active medical device is considered as any medical device which relies on a source of electrical energy or any source of power other than that directly generated by the human body or gravity in order to function.

Product Safety requirements for electrical active medical devices are documented and internationally harmonized under the IEC 60601-xx standard family which is the base for the approval procedure of medical electrical equipment in most regulatory frameworks all over the world.

MET provides the full range of product safety testing per the 60601-1 series of standards including collateral (Part 1) and particular (Part 2) standards. In addition we offer complete testing for active implantable devices (ISO 14708).

The MET NRTL mark indicates compliance to required standards for workplace safety which includes locations such as hospitals, clinics, therapy centers, and similar facilities. The NRTL mark is required under federal law for products used in workplaces in all 50 states.

As a National Certification Body (NCB) and CB Testing Laboratory (CBTL) in the IECEE CB Scheme, MET can also perform testing & certification in accordance with all editions of 60601-1 safety standards for medical electrical equipment in participating member countries.
