The Certification and Inspection Department has been operating on the Polish energy market since 1969, providing inspection services, supervising the testing of the above-mentioned products, within an Inspection Unit, accredited by the Polish Centre for Accreditation (PCA) - No. AK 037.

Conformity assessment is offered in the field of products for use in electrical power engineering, which include such products as: transformers, power cables and wires, insulators, electrical equipment (including: fuses and fuse links), low-voltage and high-voltage switchgear and controlgear, transformers and reactors, equipment for electrical power transmission and distribution networks (including: shielded power cables for overhead lines and their accessories - surge arresters).

Inspection activities are carried out in Poland and other countries. Conformity assessments are carried out according to normative documents of PN, CENELEC, IEC, ANSI/IEEE and international power companies (ENEL, ENEDIS).
