Transitioning Products and Certification to UL 60335-2-89 Webinar

Commercial refrigeration, commercial freezers, residential refrigeration, walk-in, display case, vending, and ice machine products face a changing landscape with increased demands for energy efficiency and transition to low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants.

Intertek offers testing to safety, energy efficiency, sanitation, chemical, and refrigerant requirements, as well as consulting, product design support, training, supply chain assessment, competitive benchmarking, and more. Products can earn ETL certification, ETL sanitation certification, and the CE Mark or equivalent marks for global markets.

UL 60335-2-89 for Commercial Refrigeration
To harmonize with IEC 60335-2-89, UL and CSA are retiring previously used standards for commercial refrigeration appliances and icemakers, to replace them with North America specific 60335-2-89 standards of their own. This transition goes into effect on September 29 2024.
