March 19, 2008 (San Diego, CA) - Advanced Test Equipment Corporation, a
leading provider of quality test equipment, was recently audited by QAS International to the
quality standards and guidelines for ISO 9001:2000 and achieved certification.

The primary focus of Advanced Test Equipment is the rental of test, measurement,
inspection and environmental equipment. The company has a broad inventory, enabling it to
offer custom solutions, outstanding customer support, and flexible rental terms. The team of
dedicated and knowledgeable professionals works closely with their customers to provide a
one-stop solution for all test measurement and inspection needs. The company is
headquartered in San Diego, California.

Jim Berg, President of Advanced Test Equipment Corporation said: "We are committed to
providing our customers with high quality products and service, our desire is to exceed their
expectations. To meet this goal, ATEC has achieved and will maintain the ISO 9001:2000
registration."

Martin Jahn, Operations and Assets Manager, added: "The initial decision to seek ISO
9001:2000 certification was taken to address potential quality requirements from new and
existing customers. The process, however, has also helped us to formalize the company's
internal procedures and improve the way we do things." He recognized the contributions of
Ray Ford and Jeremy Evens, consultants from International Management Systems, as
instrumental in the achievement of this prestigious certification.

Mr. Berg went on to say that the company is currently working toward accreditation by
A2LA to ISO/IEC 17025:2005, the international standard for competence of calibration
laboratories and expects to receive certification in the near future.

ISO 9001:2000 is the internationally recognized quality management system that insures
that a company's customers can count on a consistent level of quality, from the initial design
stage all the way through final delivery and support of the product. Regular re-certification by
a qualified registrar insures that the quality system remains in place and is effective.
