History

Established in 1973.

CKC Laboratories, Inc, was founded by the late Chris Kendall and his wife MarDell Kendall in 1973. CKC’s success in all three aspects of EMC compliance (design, testing, and certification) has brought growth, stability and a reputation for EMC service excellence.

The 1980’s and 1990’s brought substantial growth to CKC. New facilities were built in Northern California, Oregon and Washington State. The dawning of a new millennium also brought new opportunities for CKC to expand our capabilities. When the FCC privatized most of its certification duties in 2000, CKC was appointed as a Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB), approving product certifications on behalf of the FCC. Shortly thereafter, CKC was also designated as a Notified Body for Europe and as Conformity Body (CB) by Industry Canada. In 2006, CKC Certification Services, LLC was founded (as a wholly-​owned subsidiary) to better communicate the services provided by our Certification division.
