TESTLAB Laboratorio de Ensayos

What TESTLAB Laboratorio de Ensayos does

TESTLAB Laboratorio de Ensayos is a privately held Chilean testing laboratory founded in 2014 and headquartered in Huechuraba, Santiago. The company operates under NCh-ISO/IEC 17025:2017 laboratory accreditation and is authorized by the Superintendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles (SEC) under Decreto Supremo N°298 de 2005 to issue certification-valid test reports for electrical products and combustible fuels. Its service portfolio spans six lines: electrical product safety and energy efficiency testing, combustible product safety testing, primary energy meter verification, telemetry and on-site meter verification, measurement system audits for electrical substations (CEN protocol compliance), and voluntary client-requested testing.

The laboratory's underlying technology combines conventional ISO 17025-accredited bench testing with a proprietary Remote Laboratory capability that uses portable energy standards to verify meter accuracy in the field in minutes, transmitting data to control center operators for real-time validation and online certificate generation without removing meters from service. Telemetry systems extend this into remote programming and wireless monitoring of power, voltage, and current parameters. Remote operations additionally hold ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications under an integrated management system. The company serves enterprise customers including Enel, Honda, Honeywell, Miele, Stihl, Husqvarna, Finning, and Cummins, with a 12-person team operating from a single Santiago facility.

TESTLAB generates revenue through quote-based fee-for-service engagements, with all services delivered directly from the Santiago laboratory or on-site at customer locations. Go-to-market relies on inbound contact via the company website, phone, and WhatsApp, with no disclosed reseller, distribution, or partner channels. The company has not raised external capital and operates as an independent private laboratory focused exclusively on the Chilean domestic market.

Core offering

TESTLAB operates an ISO 17025:2017 accredited testing laboratory in Santiago, Chile that performs safety and energy efficiency tests on electrical products and combustible fuels under SEC-defined protocols to support regulatory certification. The laboratory additionally provides primary energy meter verification services, on-site remote meter verification using a mobile laboratory, and auditing services for measurement systems at electrical substations per CEN protocols.

Product overview

TESTLAB Laboratorio de Ensayos operates as a multi-service testing laboratory offering six distinct but related services under unified ISO 17025:2017 accreditation. The core portfolio spans three testing lines—Electrical Product Testing (safety and energy efficiency), Fuel Testing (combustible product safety), and Primary Energy Meter Verification (SEC-authorized billing meter accuracy validation). Two field-service offerings extend the portfolio: Telemetry and On-Site Meter Verification (remote telemetry and in-situ testing via a mobile laboratory), and Measurement System Audits for Substations and Power Equipment (CEN-protocol compliance for large energy users). A sixth voluntary testing service enables clients to request bespoke safety, efficiency, or quality assessments outside mandatory certification. All services operate under the same quality management system and share a unified client base of energy distributors, manufacturers, and regulatory stakeholders.

Broad incumbents

• Applus+ (Applus Services): Applus+ operates a global Energy & Industry division with accredited electrical testing and calibration laboratories serving utilities and industrial operators. Comparable to TESTLAB because it provides energy-meter verification and substation/system auditing services, and product laboratory testing, in Latin American markets served by similar SEC-like regulatory bodies.
• SGS: SGS is the world's largest TIC (Testing, Inspection, Certification) company with a global network of accredited electrical and product-safety laboratories. Comparable to TESTLAB because it provides third-party electrical product safety and energy efficiency testing under ISO 17025-style accreditation for regulated market access, including operations in Chile serving similar SEC-like regulatory regimes, but at vastly broader geographic and service scale.
• Bureau Veritas: Bureau Veritas is a leading global TIC operator with Consumer Products and Industry segments that run accredited electrical, fuel, and energy-meter testing laboratories worldwide. It is comparable to TESTLAB because it underwrites electrical product certification and energy infrastructure verification for regulators and OEMs, including through its LATAM presence serving utility and import-certification needs similar to TESTLAB's SEC-driven scope.
• Intertek: Intertek is a global TIC provider operating Electrical and Energy & Commodities laboratories accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 for product safety, efficiency, and calibration testing. It is comparable to TESTLAB because it performs regulatory-driven safety and energy testing on imported electrical and fuel-related goods and provides energy-meter calibration services for utilities, serving manufacturers and distributors analogous to TESTLAB's enterprise clients.
• UL (Underwriters Laboratories): UL Solutions is a major global safety science organization issuing electrical product certifications accepted by regulators worldwide. Comparable to TESTLAB because it underwrites the safety and performance testing that importers of appliances, power tools, and industrial electrical equipment must pass for market access — analogous to TESTLAB's SEC-mandated certification testing under Decreto Supremo N°298.
• TÜV Rheinland: TÜV Rheinland is a German-origin global TIC firm with accredited electrical product testing and energy systems services. It is comparable to TESTLAB because it certifies electrical and combustion products to regulator-mandated safety and efficiency standards, including for LATAM market access, and operates field verification services for energy infrastructure analogous to TESTLAB's meter and substation audit scope.

Direct peers

• CESMEC (Centro de Estudios, Medición y Certificación): CESMEC is a Chilean accredited testing and certification body with deep roots in SEC-mandated electrical and combustible product certification. Directly comparable to TESTLAB because it competes head-to-head for the same SEC regulatory testing and meter verification work in Chile, serving overlapping manufacturer and energy distributor clients under comparable ISO 17025 accreditation.

Emerging players

• Eurofins Electrical and Electronic Products: Eurofins operates product-testing laboratories (including electrical and electronic product safety) alongside its core bioanalytical franchise.
