Understanding the Field Evaluation Process: What to Expect from Start to Finish

Has an electrical inspector informed you that your equipment isn't approved for installation? Does your machine need a field evaluation before it can be put into service?

If you've never been through the process before, you're not alone.

Join us for a webinar as we explain what field evaluations are, why they're required, and what to do when your equipment needs approval. Designed for manufacturers, equipment owners, integrators, and anyone unfamiliar with field evaluations, this session uses straightforward language to help you understand the process from the very beginning.

You'll learn why inspectors may require a field evaluation, the difference between product certification and field labeling, when a field evaluation is the right solution, and what information you'll need to begin the process. We'll also discuss how to request a quote, when a preliminary evaluation can save time and money, and how to prepare for the next steps.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

• Why equipment may be rejected by an inspector or AHJ
• What a field evaluation is and when it's required
• The difference between product certification and field evaluations

• Common situations that require a field evaluation
• What information you'll need before requesting a quote
