Field Evaluations 101: What You Need to Know

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.

Download for a practical webinar that breaks down the field evaluation process from start to finish. We'll explain why field evaluations are required, when they are the right solution, and what to expect before, during, and after an evaluation.

Designed for manufacturers, equipment owners, integrators, and anyone unfamiliar with field evaluations, this session uses straightforward language and real-world examples to help you understand what it takes to move equipment from inspection to approval.

You'll learn why equipment may be rejected by an inspector or AHJ, the difference between product certification and field labeling, and how OSHA, AHJs, and NRTLs fit into the process. We'll also cover what information and documentation you'll need to request a quote, how to prepare for an evaluation, what engineers look for during the construction and testing stages, and what happens when issues are identified.

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
• The roles of OSHA, AHJs, and Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs)
• Common situations that require a field evaluation
• What information and documentation you'll need to request a quote
• What to expect during the evaluation, including construction review and testing
• When a preliminary evaluation makes sense
• What happens when non-compliance issues are identified
• How field labeling and the final report complete the evaluation process

Whether you're dealing with a newly installed machine, imported equipment, a custom-built system, or modified machinery, this webinar will help you understand the field evaluation process, prepare for your evaluation, and confidently take the next step.
