About Us

H.P. White, an Intertek Company, was founded in 1936 by Mr. Henry Packard White as a ballistics research and development facility. Since that time, we have become acknowledged as the leading laboratory for small arms and ammunition research, development and testing in the world.

We have a client-first approach throughout our organization. The benefits of faster time to market and local expertise offered by H.P. White, an Intertek Company, are realized by thousands of businesses around the world every day.

Our clients are manufacturers and government agencies relying on us to test their products to specific market requirements. With Intertek, we can now issue global certification marks as proof of compliance to market or industry standards. Some of the marks we can now issue include Intertek’s ETL Listed mark and Warnock Hersey mark for North America, the S Mark for Europe, the GS Mark for Germany, NOM in Mexico, and more. In addition to Intertek marks, we can also offer verification for CE marking in Europe.

The products we test include personal and vehicular armor, firearms, building products, telecommunications equipment, among many others. Our clients appreciate that we not only test to the required standards, but provide guidance and local support throughout the process.

As an independent testing partner, we understand the business pressures you face. We, too, compete in a very demanding, fast-paced industry. This allows us to better understand what services and solutions will meet your business objectives. Our fast, efficient, and client-focused solutions benefit you with faster time to market. In nearly all industries, faster time to market is directly linked to greater revenue potential.
