Absolutely.  It looks like TUV would be the best for most of those, TUV
and UL.  Environ does pretty much only environmental testing: temp,
humidity, dust-fastness, HALT, etc.  TUV will do the EM testing.  There
will likely be a lab MUCH closer than the Minneapolis area.

You'll want to test the device in as close to actual use conditions as
possible:  grounded if it will be grounded, with the power supply
grounded and isolated through ferrites, etc.  There seems to be a bit
of art involved in getting a device through testing- you obviously want
to test the device and not the power supply or PC driving it.
