PSL provides third-party test and certification for the best power quality instruments in the world. We approach the certification process as fellow engineers, not as policemen. Almost every instrument we've tested has required various firmware adjustments to pass, and we're glad to help your engineers understand exactly what's required. PSL Test Reports are detailed technical documents that are intended for use by our Client’s engineers. PSL Certificates are straightforward declarations by a third party, PSL, that an instrument meets certain requirements. PSL Certificates are generally distributed by our Clients to their customers. Upon successful completion of a 61000-4-30 Compliance Report, PSL will issue a Certificate for Class A, Class S or Class B Performance. In some cases, a single Certificate may include different classes of performance for different parameters. The Certificate applies to all instruments of the tested type or design; it is not necessary to re-test or certify each instrument. |

There are three classes of performance: Class A Instruments that meet Class A performance requirements of this standard will, when connected to the same signals, will produce the same results. Class A instruments must meet the highest performance and accuracy requirements in the standard. Class S Instruments that meet Class S performance requirements are useful for statistical surveys and contractual applications where there are no disputes. Accuracy and performance requirements for Class S are less stringent than Class A. Class B Instruments that meet Class B requirements are useful for qualitative surveys, troubleshooting applications and other applications where low uncertainty is not required. Class B instruments will produce useful, but not necessarily accurate, results. |

More and more customers and end-users around the world require a PSL Class A certification for all their new PQ measurement instrument purchases. This standard ensures that different PQ instruments use the same definitions, and measurement techniques, for various power quality parameters: sags/dips, swells, frequency, harmonics, flicker, etc. Older, non-compliant instruments often use their own definitions. As a result, two non-compliant instruments may produce very different readings for the same event. |
