ASTA

Intertek's ASTA Services deliver the leading level of service for the electrical industry. Our services include international truly recognized schemes such as plug and fuse approval and low, medium and high voltage certification.

ASTA as the Association of Short-Circuit Authorities was founded in 1938. ASTA certificates and endorsed reports are only available through testing at "recognized" testing facilities that have been assessed by ASTA rigorously.

ASTA Certificates are the specific only certificates signed by an ASTA Observer who is technically responsible to ASTA for the performance and reporting of the tests and not to the testing facility.

• ASTA Certificates/Reports are Internationally recognized, having a very high profile in Asia and the Middle East, often "specified" by major end-users
• The ASTA marks and/or type test certificates indicate clearly that the product has been independently tested in compliance with the relevant clauses of the applicable standards
• Helps in differentiation of quality brands to the supply chain
• Manufacturers have protectionagainst the risk of legal action
• Ease of vendor approval, potentially reduces the number of individual customer/supplier audits 
• ASTA is your expert partner in regulatory requirements
