About Test Lab Index
Test Lab Index exists because the official registries that track laboratory accreditation — FCC, CPSC, OSHA, FDA, ANAB — are authoritative but hard to use together. Each has its own search form, its own vocabulary, and no cross-references. A hardware maker who needs “a lab accredited for this exact standard, near me, with accreditation that hasn't lapsed” has to run five separate searches and reconcile the results by hand.
We do that reconciliation once, publish it as one index organized by test standard, and re-pull every registry monthly so the dates on the page mean something.
What we publish — and what we never will
- We publish registry facts: accreditation numbers, statuses, expiry dates, scope acceptances, addresses — each linked to its source with a retrieval date.
- We never publish opinions: no ratings, no reviews, no “best of” claims beyond transparent counting, no warnings, no blacklists.
Who runs this
Test Lab Index is built and maintained by a small independent data team. We are not a laboratory, an accreditation body, or a government contractor, and no lab or accreditor owns any part of this site. Revenue comes from one thing only: laboratories that choose to claim their own profile. That model keeps us neutral — our product is the accuracy of the record, not placement.
Independence note
Test Lab Index is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the FCC, CPSC, OSHA, FDA, ANAB, or any other body named on this site. Registry names appear only to identify the factual source of the data (nominative use).
