Both telecommunications and safety conformity are required in Mexico.

Safety certification requires testing by a NYCE-accredited lab in Mexico, and generally only one sample is required for safety testing. In some cases, we are able to leverage existing test reports and create a safety report that the agency NYCE will accept, all without sending a sample to Mexico for testing.

Keep in mind:
The terms “institute, association, organisation, body” and even “accredited laboratory” are nearly interchangeable. The concrete designation depends on the (legal) corporate form and the country. The term “accredited laboratory” is more specific. Only organisations who maintain laboratories accredited by an authority are called this way.

I am used to call all these safety testing organization "institutes". But you may also take one of the other terms cited in the references.

Safety (control) mechanism


Explanation:
I was just wondering why not just "safety mechanism" leaving out the control part.

Another otion could be Safety (control) feature.

You can also substitute "device" in place of mechanism or feature

Asker: This is exactly what it's not, but what all the online dictionaries give me. It's not a device or feature, but a body of people, much like a company, that tests safety of machines etc.
