All CUDA Standard Parts Washers are ETL-C Certified
What Does It Mean To Be Certified?
For years, electrical appliances and small equipment
have been eligible to bear the appropriate listed mark(s)
after testing and certification. It was the
government's way of providing customers with confidence
in the safety of manufactured products. The most
popular certification markings were:
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) in the US
Canadian Standards Association (CSA) in Canada
While the government doesn't perform the actual product
testing, test procedures are heavily scrutinized and
endorsed by federal agencies under OSHA regulation 29
CFR 1910.7. Additionally, there are now other testing
laboratories besides UL and CSA that have been approved
by OSHA who can certify a wide range of products.
Today, consumers and businesses alike can be assured
that they are purchasing an automatic parts washer built
for safety when the see the "ETL-C" listed marking.
Intertek Testing Services (ITS) is the world's largest
product and commodity testing organization used to
certify CUDA Equipment.
Why Buy Only Certified Equipment?
When it comes to product safety, there are key reasons
buisinesses will want to buy only equipment that has
been certified to safety standards by a Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL), such as UL or in
the case of CUDA equipment, the OSHA-approved testing
lab, ITS
Here are three important ways that buying Certified
Equipment can protect you and your company:
1. Legal Compliance. It
is now the law in the workplace, according to OSHA
regulation 1910.399 that electrical equipment must be
"listed" by an "approved" testing agency. Failure to
comply can result in penalties.
2. Worker Protection. It
makes good business sense to offer your workers a safe
environment by providing them with only the safest of
equipment.
3. Liability Protection.
In the day of costly litigation, one of your best legal
protections against an accident on the job is to
purchase only equipment that has been certified by a
NRTL to rigorous safety standards.
