Our certification shows buyers that your claims have been Verified by a trusted source.

Benefits of energy efficiency testing and certification

Why is energy efficiency testing important?

Globally, energy efficiency has been recognized as one of the most cost-effective ways of reducing energy consumption, reducing pollution, and improving energy security. As energy efficiency in-country regulations become increasingly strict and complex, our frontline expertise helps you to navigate an ever-evolving regulatory landscape and helps ensure your products meet the relevant standards across global markets.

Promote your energy efficiency credentials

Once testing is complete and your product is certified, we add your product to our Database of Validated and Certified Products.
