General Info:
IMANNA LABORATORY, Inc was established in 1983 as an Independent Testing Laboratory providing services to the Marine/Boating industry. Building upon his very early experience of developing the Recreational Boating regulations, Mr. Robert L. White, founder and owner of the laboratory has played a leading role in the development of testing techniques and procedures. Through detailed assessments of accident report investigations and accident reconstruction scenarios, Mr. White has been instrumental in determining product regulations and educational material to reduce the number of boating fatalities. Mr. Robert L. White, known affectionately in the industry as Bob White, was a participant in the development of the marine boating regulations and the development of the Standardized Test Procedures, now published as the U.S. Coast Guard Standard Test Procedures for Boating Safety. Mr. White combined the "high-tech and top-level quality assurance" experience of nine years of testing in the Aerospace Industry with the practicality of the "cost-conscience" boating industry, to implement a test philosophy that provides competency, quality, and thoroughness with reasonable pricing.
