What Is Field Evaluation?
A Field Evaluation is an on-site inspection and testing process used to determine whether installed equipment complies with applicable safety standards and codes.
But here’s what many don’t realize:
– “UL Field Evaluation” is often used generically by inspectors
– Any qualified Field Evaluation Body (FEB) is allowed to perform it
That means a Field Evaluation by UL is not mandatory — you can choose MET Labs and still meet all AHJ, OSHA, and NEC requirements.

Solutions
Common Situations We Help Solve
We provide targeted field evaluation services for complex equipment challenges.
- You imported a piece of equipment that only has the “CE” mark and your electrical inspector won’t allow you to operate it until it’s “UL tested” or “Field Evaluated”
- You failed an electrical inspection due to unapproved equipment and need urgent labeling
- Your company’s internal Health & Safety Department told you that you can’t use your equipment until it is labeled or “UL Tested”
- You are moving a mature business to a new location, and the legacy equipment was produced before OSHA requirements existed and now your electrical inspector is requiring a field evaluation.
- You have modified a previously certified piece of equipment and have rendered the original certification invalid, and an inspector is requiring you to have a field evaluation
