Our testing capabilities help you demonstrate compliance within your industry. These capabilities include (but are not limited to):
In LBT, the controls that are integral to the equipment are allowed to operate as they were designed by the equipment manufacturers. This dynamic testing approach involves emulating a building’s sensible and latent loads by adjusting temperature and humidity setpoints of the psychrometric chamber reconditioning system. This method differs sharply from historical performance testing procedures, in which the controls of the equipment are locked and the compressors and fans are forced into fixed speeds (e.g., static testing).
Sound testing of products is conducted for the purpose of complying with regulatory standards, comparing similar products or competitors’ products, and verifying new product designs for engineering and internal quality control. Appliances and heat pumps are the main focus of UL Solutions’ sound testing.
The inclusion of variable speed compressors and fan motors in HVACR equipment brings the potential for significant energy efficiency gains. However, current performance testing methods (static testing) require that the controls of the HVACR equipment remain constant for testing. CVP has been developed as a way to verify that the controls can operate as intended under their native control algorithms during regulatory testing.
KEYMARK is a leading certification scheme in the European market owned by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the European Electrotechnical Committee for Standardization (CENELEC). UL Solutions is an approved KEYMARK empowered certification body, authorized to assess and certify heat pumps to European standards.
ESPR aims to significantly improve the sustainability of products in the EU market. These regulations establish a framework for ecodesign requirements, impacting a wide range of products. Anticipated delegated acts will supplement the regulation by establishing specific, product-related requirements. UL Solutions can provide ISO 17025 accredited test reports that can be used to declare EU energy efficiency values for compliance with the ESPR and energy labeling requirements.
The UL Verified Mark gives a credible differentiation advantage to HVACR products, demonstrating verification by an independent, objective, science-based organization and providing proof of your marketing claims.
