Committed to saving you time and money – without cutting corners
ESRG’s mission is to provide services that save our clients time, money, and – above all else – improve safety. So, when it comes to testing and certification, we’re committed to supporting the incorporation of safety from the earliest stages of a product’s development – because we know early safety implementation eradicates expensive and time-consuming product redesigns and modifications down the road. Our extensive experience makes us uniquely qualified to identify weaknesses in product design that are often still overlooked in the burgeoning energy storage industry. ESRG’s experts have been doing this long enough to have seen a lot of products fail – so you can trust us when we say we know what it takes for your product to be successful.
Our pre-certification testing sets you on the fast-track for successful certification – for less.
Put simply, we’ll test your product before your certification testing, allowing you to know almost immediately how it will perform – all at a fraction of the certification cost. Having performed dozens of medium and large-scale tests and more than 100 small-scale, cell-level tests at our proprietary battery fire testing facility, we’re well-equipped to perform your product testing needs – whatever the scale may be.
Your trusted guide through the formal certification process
When it comes time for certification, ESRG draws upon extensive product certification experience to take on and guide the project management portion, negotiation and discussions as they engage with certifiers, ensuring a smooth and efficient certification process.
