Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI)
12. May 2024The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) is an international laboratory dedicated to technical development and innovation. Founded in 1973, it has steadily expanded its functions and areas of expertise since then. ITRI was conceived as a service and development institute for industry and is subordinate to the Ministry of Economy. Unlike other science and research institutions in Taiwan, it was not intended to conduct fundamental research, but exclusively applied research. ITRI is also responsible for ITRI approvals.
ITRI is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO/IEC 17065 and covers all tests according to CNS and IEC standards in hazardous areas.
ITRI is particularly important for companies supplying products and devices that will be used in hazardous areas since it is the certification body for explosion protection products approved by the Taiwanese Ministry of Labor. All products that are used in hazardous areas and that are to be sold on the Taiwanese market must be certified and approved by ITRI.
Detailed information can be found on the ITRI certification overview page.
