Canadian Federal Government (SIPSS and PPMG)
NSTL is the sole provider of desktop and laptop product testing for the Canadian government’s Science and Informatics Professional Services Sector (SIPSS) branch. Similarly, NSTL is the sole provider of ongoing printer testing for the Canadian government’s Printer Product Management Group (PPMG). Using our proprietary automated benchmarks and testing tools, we assess product performance, compatibility and usability to determine an overall product rating. Products that meet or exceed the standard are then eligible to be sold directly to the Canadian government. If your products meet government standards, you can sell directly to government end users, avoiding lengthy evaluation processes and long RFP cycles.
