I want to reach out personally to keep you informed about something we’re experiencing right now, and more importantly, what we’re doing about it.
Exceptional Demand - A Good Problem to Have.
The Australian electrical certification landscape has shifted significantly in recent months. The government’s Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) initiative has generated a remarkable and unexpected surge in applications, and strong unseasonable demand across consumer product certifications has added to this.
While we’re proud that so many businesses are trusting EESS Conformity Certification to bring their products to market, we want to be honest: this volume has placed pressure on our usual turnaround times.
What We've Already Done.
We moved quickly the moment we recognised the scale of the challenge. Here’s what’s already underway:
- We have engaged two new assessors, with a further appointment imminent.
- Our Priority Service has been suspended for the moment. We are happy to discuss with clients who need a clear pathway.
- We have used this moment as a prompt to review and streamline our internal processes, creating efficiencies that will serve you well into the future.
- We have focused all of our assessors and support staff on reviewing applications, whilst I manage general communication.
What You Can Expect.
We anticipate a return to normal within two months or less. In the meantime, if your project has time-sensitive requirements, please reach out to me directly to discuss options on how we can best support your timeline.
Coming Out Stronger.
Challenges like this one sharpen us. When we emerge from this period, EESS Conformity Certification will have greater capacity, more assessors and more efficient processes than ever before. Our commitment to guiding your electrical equipment safely through certification, with the professionalism and rigour our JASANZ accreditation demands, has not wavered for a moment.
We genuinely value your trust and your business, and we thank you for your patience and understanding as we scale to meet the moment.
Warm regards,
Lloyd Knipe,
Managing Director,
EESS Conformity Certification
