HVAC OEM certification of higher standards
Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a global safety science company, has launched the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) recognized testing services for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) products as per the latest Indian Standards (IS).
The electronic controllers used in air conditioners and related applications have been brought under compulsory BIS certification beginning 1 January 2021, as per IS/IEC 60730-2-9, a standard outlining requirement for temperature sensing controls.
The certification is mandatory under the Air Conditioner and its related Parts, Hermetic Compressor and Temperature Sensing Controls (Quality Control) Order, 2019, issued by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade in India.
“The launch of the testing services will enable HVAC original equipment and related components manufacturers in India to meet the compliance norms and help ensure a higher level of safety, quality and reliability for their products,” Srinivasa Desikan, Director and Business Head of South Asia at UL, said on 28 Sept 2020.
UL helps create a better world by applying science to solve safety, security and sustainability challenges. Businesses, industries, governments, regulatory authorities and the public put their trust in UL so they can make smarter decisions, he said.
Meanwhile, UL, in collaboration with the Center for Public Health at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), has completed an important public safety research project on advancing child safety in India. The findings were published in the June 2020 issue of the International Journal for Injury Control and Safety Promotion, a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of injury prevention, says UL in a post on its website. #manufacturing #testing #quality #standards #certification /fiinews.com
