PowerLab Ltd
Christchurch, New Zealand
PowerLab Ltd operates what it describes as the only independent commercial high-voltage and heavy-current test laboratory in New Zealand, offering impulse, AC/DC withstand, short-circuit, temperature-rise, EMC and partial-discharge testing. It is IANZ-accredited for electrical standards testing including components of the AS/NZS 60335 appliance safety suite and IEC 60598 luminaire standards. Public FCC records associate designation NZ0003 with a different Christchurch facility (EnTest Laboratories / Enphase Energy NZ), so this lab's status under the FCC MRA could not be verified.
