Facility is First in US to Receive Such
Rating
Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to
industries worldwide, has been certified as a laboratory with
methods category “A” to conduct materials testing to Daimler
specifications on a select number of methods. This approval gives
manufacturers supplying parts to Daimler an approved testing lab,
improving product quality, while reducing costs and resources
typically incurred without the assistance of a third party lab. The
designation, granted to Intertek’s facility in Grand Rapids,
Michigan, is the first in the U.S. to be awarded by Daimler.
“At Intertek, our reputation has been built on decades of
experience that have led to successful, long-term accreditations
with companies such as Daimler,” said Tim Hubbard, Senior Vice
President of Transportation Technologies at Intertek. “This
approval supports our commitment to delivering superior customer
service and we look forward to partnering with Daimler to bring
these services to suppliers around the world.”
The goal of Daimler’s Class A program is to support suppliers by
establishing a global network of approved labs to test materials
for use in Daimler vehicles to specifications set by the car
manufacturer. Intertek was one of a select number of labs invited
to apply for the program and the company underwent an intensive
seven-step process in order to qualify. Intertek is working with
Daimler to expand the approval to other labs in Intertek’s global
network.
Intertek provides expertise on performance, quality, and
reliability standards and expectations for the automotive
industries with efficient, cost-effective insights and testing
capabilities. We are accredited to conduct hundreds of electrical,
chemical, and mechanical tests for automotive components, products,
