Going Global | Obtaining ETL Certification, STEP Robotics Opens the Door to the North American Market
2023-06-01
STEP subsidiary, Zhongweixing—a leading Chinese brand in SCARA robots—recently received ETL certification from Intertek, a globally recognized certification body, thereby gaining access to the North American market.
This is yet another achievement of STEP commitment to “benchmarking against imports and surpassing them.” It also marks the entry of domestically produced robots into a brand-new stage of replacing imported counterparts—not only by substituting for imported brands within China, but also by setting sail overseas and actively expanding into international markets, gradually growing into an internationally recognized brand.
ETL Certification Certificate Obtained by STEP Zhongweixing Robot
According to statistics from STEP Overseas Business Department, as of now, STEP robots have obtained various quality certification systems, including the EU CE certification, China’s CR robot certification, and ISO9000 certification. The company has already exported its products—including six-axis robots and SCARA robots—to 63 countries and regions in Southeast Asia, Europe, South America, and other areas.
The continuous endorsement of these authoritative certifications represents the concrete achievements of STEP Robot’s long-term commitment to advanced manufacturing processes, reliable and safe system operations, and the promotion of intelligent and digital manufacturing. It also serves as recognition of the company’s technological strength and its capability for innovation. Looking ahead, STEP will remain steadfast in maintaining consistent quality, actively strive to become a benchmark for quality in the robotics industry, and deeply engage in the global market, continuously earning customer acclaim and trust through outstanding products and services.
The ETL (Electrical Testing Laboratories) mark is an exclusive certification mark of Intertek, a global leader in quality and safety services. Its origins can be traced back to the Lamp Testing Bureau, founded by Thomas Edison in 1896. Today, the ETL mark has become one of North America’s most dynamic safety certification marks, enjoying widespread recognition and acceptance. Any electrical, mechanical, or electromechanical product bearing the ETL mark has undergone testing accredited by the U.S. NRTL and Canada’s SCC, complies with recognized national standards, and can be smoothly marketed in the North American region. Unlike other certifications, the ETL certification not only evaluates and certifies product safety but also examines the compliance of a company’s supply chain, R&D processes, and manufacturing operations. With quarterly factory audits conducted four times a year, the ETL assessment provides a more comprehensive evaluation of enterprises, ensuring ongoing assurance of product quality and helping companies maintain consistent high standards.
