Israel continues to strengthen its position in global supply chains, and one of the key drivers behind its export growth is the development of local testing laboratories. The country invests in modern infrastructure, expands accredited facilities and streamlines compliance procedures. As a result, companies gain faster access to international markets and build strong trust in the quality of their products.

The role of local laboratories in Israel’s export strategy 

Testing centers perform several critical functions that support manufacturers preparing for global expansion:

• verify compliance with international standards - ISO, IEC, EN, UL;
• allow companies to conduct testing domestically without sending samples abroad;
• reduce the time required to obtain export certificates and technical documentation;
• ensure acceptance of test reports by foreign regulators and certification bodies.

This helps Israeli companies in electronics, equipment manufacturing, medical devices, energy systems and consumer goods meet global market expectations more efficiently.

Key laboratory types driving the process 

Israel maintains a diverse and well-developed network of accredited laboratories, including:

• SII Labs - one of the largest facilities conducting tests for electrical products, materials and consumer goods;
• governmental laboratories in sectors such as health, environment, agriculture and defense;
• private certification and testing centers supporting CB Scheme, IECEx, CE, FCC and other global programs;
• R&D-focused laboratories working with medtech, sensors, IoT devices, advanced materials and complex hardware systems.

Together, they provide the full range of testing required for international market entry.

How local testing boosts competitiveness 

Local testing infrastructure offers significant advantages to Israeli manufacturers:

• faster certification timelines - reduced from months to just weeks;
• lower costs - no need to send samples to labs in the US or Europe;
• high reliability - labs operate under recognized international methodologies;
• early-stage prototype testing - highly valuable for startups and tech innovators;
• acceptance of reports abroad - simplifies and accelerates entry into new markets.

This makes Israel an attractive hub for developing, testing and exporting advanced technologies.

Industries benefiting the most 

The strongest impact is seen in:

• electronics, telecom and IoT sectors;
• medical devices, biotechnology and diagnostics;
• defense and dual-use solutions;
• chemicals and pharmaceuticals;
• automotive components and safety systems;
• renewable energy, solar technologies and electric mobility.

These industries require precise testing and strict regulatory alignment - exactly what Israel’s laboratory ecosystem provides.

How the government supports laboratory development 

Israel uses several mechanisms to strengthen its export competitiveness:

• expanding recognized international standards and certification schemes;
• financing the modernization of laboratory infrastructure;
• supporting startups requiring complex or costly testing;
• increasing participation in global mutual-recognition programs;
• developing partnerships with foreign certification bodies.

These measures ensure consistent growth of the export sector and global confidence in Israeli technologies.
