As part of its ongoing commitment to meeting the industry needs and demands, the company has successfully expanded its capabilities, adding IEC 60335 and IEC 60601 to the CB Scope for this location.

"In addition to enhancing our service capabilities, this expansion underscores our commitment to remaining at the forefront of industry standards and technological advancements, as, in just 16 months since breaking ground on construction, we have obtained numerous standards accreditations. Now, we can perform a wider range of tests in-house and potentially reduce wait times for our customers' projects". We look forward to leveraging these new capabilities to deliver even greater value to our clients and partners", shared Ryan Braman, Local Field Manager at TÜV Rheinland

Moreover, this development highlights TÜV Rheinland's dedication to delivering end-to-end testing solutions that cater to a broader spectrum of industries. The Boxborough laboratory's enhanced scope not only strengthens the position of the company in North America but also aligns with TÜV Rheinland's global strategy of providing comprehensive, one-stop solutions for safety and compliance challenges.
