HELPING YOU ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN COMPLIANCE & CERTIFICATION

At Hazcon Inc., we bridge the gap between manufacturers of products for hazardous locations and approval agencies worldwide. We take pride in our experience working in a certification agency, interacting with global manufacturing companies and at the forefront of the compliance and approval processes in Canada, the USA and internationally.

It is in your best interest to:

  • Move your products quickly through the design, testing, approval and production stages

  • Ensure your products always comply with the latest technical guidelines and standards
  • Maintain your certifications efficiently and in the least expensive way

We believe in a proactive approach and encourage you to engage our consulting services when your product is still in the development stage. This reduces unnecessary and costly design and production expenses.

If you already have a product and are unsure if it meets certification requirements, we can help by assessing compliance with the requirements for hazardous locations Standards applicable to your product and the location(s) in which you will sell it.

If you have a current certificate for your product with any recognized certification agency, we can help you maintain your certificate efficiently, so that your product always complies with the latest technical requirements.
