INTEK is a leading Italian company in testing and metrology, with a state-of-the-art laboratory and a highly specialized team.
INTEK S.p.A. is an independent testing and measurement laboratory, founded in 1994, specializing in electrical, electronic, environmental, and physical testing. Headquartered in Rezzato (BS), INTEK supports national and international companies in verifying product compliance with key European directives—Low Voltage (LVD), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), ATEX, RED—and the most widely used technical standards in the industrial, automotive, railway, marine, sensor, and automation sectors.
In over thirty years of operation, INTEK has developed an operational model based on advanced metrology, measurement uncertainty calculation, impartiality, and continuous innovation, becoming a point of reference for manufacturers, designers, certification bodies, and technical organizations. The motto “Knowing what’s behind” encapsulates the company’s approach: thoroughly understanding physical phenomena, regulatory principles, and the actual behavior of products to ensure reliable results and technical decisions supported by objective evidence.
INTEK was founded by leading Italian manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment with the aim of establishing an independent laboratory dedicated to improving product quality and conducting technical and regulatory validation based on reliable measurements.
To provide manufacturers, designers, and technical bodies with reliable, repeatable test results that comply with international standards, supporting the market authorization process with fast, accurate solutions based on technical evidence.
The values that guide INTEK define how we operate every day and represent the technical and cultural foundation upon which we build the reliability of our tests and services.
Specialization in metrology and measurement uncertainty.
Experimental and numerical methods (including Monte Carlo methods) used in accredited processes.
Development of advanced infrastructure (e.g., anechoic chamber, vibration test areas, high-power systems).
Participation in international studies and projects in collaboration with universities and industry institutes.
At the heart of INTEK’s original concept lies the idea of a neutral venue where even competing companies can test their products with a guarantee of fairness, transparency, and technical independence.
INTEK’s technical expertise covers a comprehensive range of tests, measurements, and specialized services designed to support companies and designers in product validation, regulatory compliance, and performance evaluation across various application sectors.
