Energy Verification Services

Show inspection authorities, utilities, distributors, customers and others that your products meet energy efficiency requirements. Have your products verified by UL for energy efficiency. EVS helps manufacturers meet U.S. and Canadian energy efficiency regulations.

Regulations

In January 1994, the U.S. Department of Energy began requiring that certain types of products meet federal regulations for energy efficiency.

And, in 1995 the Canadian Energy Efficiency Act established energy standards for motors, appliances, heating and cooling equipment, and other related products exported to Canada. Verification by a third-party organization accredited as a Certification Organization (CO) by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) is required by this regulation.
