  1. 01 Claim with a research account 0:00

    Labs and research companies claim their company on ArmorList with a research account: accredited labs, test facilities and conformity assessment bodies. Claiming is free and needs no plan.

  2. 02 Find or add your company 0:12

    Find your company under Claim your company, or add it if it is new. With your work email on the company's domain, the claim is approved straight away. Otherwise staff review it within one business day.

  3. 03 What you test 0:25

    In What your company does, choose Testing and certification and what you work on. Then declare your test capabilities, the standards you test to, your accreditations and their scope, and your typical turnaround, all declared by you, not verified by ArmorList.

  4. 04 A testing service RFQ 0:41

    A manufacturer who needs testing sends a testing service RFQ: the test, the standard or method, the specification and the number of tests. With your company on a plan, it reaches you in Requests, and by email, and your sealed quote goes back the same way.

  5. 05 Your lab 0:58

    Your lab, found by the makers who need the data.
