Application Process:
Upon request from the client to perform a
Field Evaluation, we ask the client to
send information about the
product/equipment, including schematics,
component list or bill of materials, test
records, location of installation, etc.
We gather as much information as we
can from the client to help us determine
the evaluation cost so we can provide an
accurate quote for the field evaluation.
Once this is achieved, we send the client
an application form to fill out and send
back, along with a check or purchase
order authorizing us to proceed. Once
these are received, we assign an
engineer to the project, and it proceeds in
a timely manner so as to meet the
client’s need.

If the product/equipment is non-compliant
non-compliant items are documented, a
list of the items needing correction is
prepared, and a detailed report is issued
to the client.
At this point, the work is on hold until the
client has made the necessary corrections
and notified us for further evaluation.
MEIC's staff (if asked for) work with the
client to bring the product/equipment into
compliance.
After the necessary corrections are done,
we perform a final product inspection, and
verify all corrections and compliance.

Feld Evaluation Process:
The MEIC field evaluation process consists of
product design & documentation review,
construction and test data review,
component list and suitability review for end use
application (meet the National Electrical Code and
other applicable standards), and evaluation of
electrical equipment at the customer site.
Perform additional (test, if any) on the
produce/equipment at the customer site.

If Product/Equipment is Compliant
Certify product/equipment compliance with the
applicable requirements of the standard: apply
MEIC’s Field Evaluation Mark.
Send a comprehensive field evaluation report to the
Authority having jurisdiction.

To assist in an expedited evaluation we ask
prospective clients to pay attention to the following:

Provide a current and complete set of schematics,
electrical components/parts list, and test records, if
available.
Have a person responsible for operating, or have the
equipment available during the evaluation to answer
our questions (if any).
