With offices and manufacturing facilities located worldwide, Chroma is renowned for its commitment to excellence in products, services and innovation.
In South Africa, Chroma is represented by InterCal and this training session was for Haarhoff and Devenish to become familiar with the 17020 battery test system and the PV inverter ATS 8000, soon to be installed at a local university for alternative energy research and solar panel testing.
Chroma ATE is accredited to ISO 9001 for quality systems, ISO 16949 for electric vehicle power systems and ISO 17025 for calibration.
