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 done, 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.
