Hi Charlie and RIch, I ran across a Field Evaluator named ETI Conformity Services eti Conformity Services <https://www.eticonformity.com/en-us/> that is accepted by AHJ’s in Seattle and other areas. They had accreditation from International Accreditation Services, which I hadn’t heard of before
IAS: Field Evaluation Body Accreditation (iasonline.org) <https://www.iasonline.org/services/field-evaluation-bodies/> This website has a search function that claims to find organizations by location to fit your needs. This is new to me, I thought only NRTL’s or their subcontractors could do Field Evaluations. Am I the only one in the dark?

Are there published lists anywhere, or is it a case of asking the relevant AHJ?

Most NRTLs, small to large, also are FEBs. I only found one accredited FEB who wasn’t an NRTL, SGS in Switzerland (a very big company). Here is a good and complete (straight-forward) explanation of the field inspection service in the USA and Canada: https://metlabs.com/services/on-site-field-testing-and-evaluation/field-inspection-frequently-asked-questions/ Here is one of the field evaluation body, FEB, accreditation schemes: https://www.iasonline.org/services/field-evaluation-bodies/ The FEB must be acceptable to the AHJ in the region where the equipment is to be installed.
