HVACR Certification & Equipment Testing

Get Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVACR) products to market faster and more confidently with the Total Quality Assurance leader in HVACR Certification and Testing
HVACR testing and certification refer to the process of evaluating and verifying the performance, safety, and energy efficiency of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems and equipment. This is done to ensure that the systems and equipment meet the required standards and regulations for quality and safety.
HVACR Equipment testing involves testing HVACR equipment to ensure that it meets the required standards for performance, safety, and energy efficiency. This testing is typically done by independent testing laboratories, such as Intertek. Equipment that meets the required standards is given the ETL certification mark to indicate that it has been tested and certified.
HVACR testing and certification are important because they help ensure that HVACR systems and equipment are safe, reliable, and energy-efficient. They also help establish minimum standards for the HVACR industry and provide a way for consumers to identify qualified professionals and high-quality products.
