Safety Link provides ready access to the world's electrical product safety approval test labs, standards bodies and government organisations.

Product Safety International describes its website, dubbed the Safety Link, as the web's most comprehensive collection of electrical product safety and standards resources.

Online since 1995 and recently revamped, the Safety Link provides ready access to: the world's electrical product safety approval test labs including BSI, CSA International, FM Approvals, Intertek, the NRTLs, the TUVs, UL, VDE and hundreds more; standards bodies such as ANSI, CENELEC, IEC, EIA, and ETSI; government links such as BERR, CPSC, FCC, OSHA, NIST and the EU.

CE marking information can also be found, along with links to many EU Directives and associated resources regarding electrical product safety.

Links to related compliance resources, including those in the fields of EMC/RFI, telecommunications, quality, EHS, WEEE/RoHS and the environment, are also provided.

To make maximum use of the site, visitors can click on an "optimise your safety link visit" tab to gain full benefit of the redesign and the new search and translation options available.

Each month the Safety Link provides critical resources to electrical product safety professionals from more than 90 countries; it is referenced by more than 1000 sites in 60-plus countries.
