Product Safety Consulting

About

Product Safety Consulting (PSC) is a product safety testing, consulting, and certification firm headquartered in Bensenville, Illinois, near Chicago. In business since 1988, PSC has over 35 years of experience and more than 3,000 product certifications obtained across 35 countries. The company operates a full-service testing lab on-site and works closely with all major NRTLs. PSC's primary focus is product safety compliance rather than standalone EMC testing, but electromagnetic compatibility assessment is part of their broader certification services — particularly for CE Marking programs and for smart or IoT-enabled products where EMC is a regulatory requirement. Their CE certification services cover the EMC Directive alongside the Low Voltage Directive and other applicable EU requirements. The range of products they test is broad: medical devices, laboratory and medical equipment, information technology equipment, luminaires and lighting, commercial cooking equipment, household and commercial appliances, machinery, energy and solar products, hazardous location equipment, transportation and electric vehicle products, and emerging categories like AI hardware, wearables, and drone technology. On the safety side, they provide NRTL certifications (UL and others) for the North American market, CE and global certifications for international markets, and field evaluations for installed equipment that lacks an existing certification mark. PSC has developed two proprietary approaches — DFSA (Design for Safety Approval) and SBS (Safety by Specification) — designed to help manufacturers build compliance into their products from the earliest design stages, reducing time and cost through the certification process. The company emphasizes getting products through testing and certification as efficiently as possible, submitting only passing products to NRTLs to avoid costly retests.
