Radioactive Material Licensed

51³Ô¹ÏÍøNuclear holds a Radioactive Material License and is audited by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC), Nuclear Procurement Issues Committee (NUPIC), and Nuclear Industry Assessment Committee (NIAC). The lab offers full-service engineering and testing organization to support electrical and mechanical equipment qualification to the requirements of 10CFR50.49 and IEEE Standards 323 and 344.

ICAP Certified

51³Ô¹ÏÍøNuclear has earned IEEE’s Conformity Assessment Program (ICAP) Certification. The ICAP certification permits 51³Ô¹ÏÍøto connect directly to manufacturers through a standard of product qualification testing and standardized reporting resulting in streamlined approval processes for customers worldwide.

ICAP certification is important for expediting market adoption while reducing implementation costs. The program is specifically designed to ensure product conformity to IEEE standards, thus reducing testing burdens on manufacturers that need to meet multiple programs for different end-users or buyers. ICAP also enables trade across state and international boundaries with the assurance of operating safely and reliably within certain measurable performance criteria.

Acoustic Noise Chamber Testing, Design, and Refurbishment

The engineers at the Huntsville laboratory specialize in a wide range of acoustics testing, including high intensity acoustic noise and progressive wave acoustic noise. The engineers at the lab provide support, testing, and engineering services for the design of specialized test equipment, including the WAS 3000 and WAS 5000 Acoustic Noise Generators, Many industries require the accurate measurement of the level of sound that products emit in order to adequately protect technicians, users and others in close proximity to the noise the equipment produces.

We conduct acoustic noise testing to meet the requirements of regulatory bodies like OSHA, telecommunications companies like AT&T and Verizon, medical equipment regulators, and business equipment regulators. We also help companies comply with the standardization of military and defense equipment.

Industry standards that cover acoustic noise testing include:
• ISO 9296
• ISO 7779
• ISO 3744
• GR-63-CORE
• ETSI EN 300 753
• IEC 60601
• MIL-STD-1474D (previously MIL-STD-740)

High-Flow Steam, Water, and Air

At 51³Ô¹ÏÍøHuntsville, we offer a comprehensive selection of services including engineering, analysis, and robust testing of equipment, such as motor operated valves (MOVs) intended for use in operating environments of high-flow steam and water.
