2 CORPO 465 a CORPO 460 a The backing of an independent expert 2,000 m² surface area > 4 M invested since 2011 > 30 experts Over 50 years experience Tesla Lab - Power Testing and Certification is an independent laboratory specialising in testing of LV components, switchgear and switchgear assemblies. Tesla Lab provides a wide range of equipment and experience in electrical, mechanical, climatic and functional tests for low voltage operating, control, safety and measuring equipment. Capitalising on outstanding expertise and facilities Created in 1965, the laboratory has continuously expanded its activities, starting from electrical component testing to larger equipment testing like switchgear assemblies, busbar trunking, public distribution boards, etc. In parallel with the expansion of activities, the surface area has been increased with clean and modern buildings providing easy access to the test facilities. Tesla Lab has a highly skilled, professional and stable workforce. Continuous training ensures that they master the latest measurement technologies, methods and equipment. The time has now come for the laboratory to share these facilities and expertise with external clients. 2

3 CORPO 464 a CORPO 479 a A cutting-edge laboratory Established in Benfeld, France, Tesla Lab - Power Testing and Certification has a worldwide recognition. Founding member of ASEFA which is the French member of LOVAG. Accredited by COFRAC (France) to ISO Working in Client Test Data Program with UL (USA). Agreed for shared certification by CSA (Canadian Standard Association). WMT agreement with DEKRA (IEC and EN standards). Further to these recognitions, Tesla Lab has concluded partnerships with many other international certification bodies. These accreditations and partnerships ensure that the scope of tests carried out take into account the specific safety and quality requirements of each country or market segment. We are dedicated to continuously improving safety standards through design verification, technical compliance and certification. Continuous investment in the Tesla Lab provides a modern and efficient working environment to do so. Dominique MARBACH Laboratory Manager Tesla Lab - Power Testing and Certification CORPO 449 a 3
