BIG NEWS FOR LABTEST CERTIFICATION!
LABTEST IS COMING TO TORONTO!
Exciting things are happening at LabTest Certification! To better serve our clients, we have recently opened a new location in the Toronto area, more precisely in Oakville, Ontario. This location is strategically located to serve the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and surrounding regions. This expansion aligns with our commitment to providing accessible, efficient testing and certification services across Canada, reducing logistical challenges for local businesses.
This means that manufacturers in Ontario and surrounding regions will now have local access to our Testing, Inspection, and Certification services. This will reduce, and in many cases eliminate, shipping costs, as the products needing testing will not need to be sent to our headquarters testing laboratory in Delta, BC.
One of the main benefits of the new facility is the ZERO backlog! We can get your product ready for testing right away!
Thanks to its close proximity, our new facility will also allow our customers in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and surrounding areas to witness the testing of their products in person.
Key Benefits of the Oakville Location
- Reduced Costs & Delays: Ontario manufacturers no longer need to ship products to our Delta, BC headquarters. This cuts shipping expenses and accelerates time-to-market for critical certifications like CSA SPE-1000.
- Zero Backlog Guarantee: Immediate testing availability ensures your products meet compliance deadlines without delays.
- In-Person Testing Observation: Clients can now witness environmental testing and safety evaluations firsthand, fostering transparency and collaboration.
While the near future plan for the Toronto location is to offer all of the services within the LabTest scope of accreditations, which will still be available through our Delta, BC office.
Services Now Available in Oakville
While the facility will soon offer LabTest’s full scope of accredited services, the following are immediately available:
- Special Inspections (CSA SPE-1000): for general Electrical products (in lab or onsite)
- Special Inspections (CSA SPE-3000): for Medical Equipment & Systems (in lab or onsite)

- Regulatory Compliance Consultation

Why Local Testing Matters
Proximity to Toronto’s manufacturing hub allows LabTest to better support industries like automotive, medical devices, and energy. As highlighted by the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development, local testing infrastructure is vital for maintaining Ontario’s competitive edge in global markets.
Our new location is easy to find and has ample parking! We look forward to working with you in Toronto!
