Adhering to these cybersecurity standards helps to ensure protection of the devices themselves, the data they handle, and the broader network.

IEC/UL/CSA 62841 is the international standard series that addresses the safety of electric, motor-operated, or magnetically driven tools.

By actively promoting generator safety and reliability, electrical inspectors contribute to the protection of personnel, prevention of accidents, and the uninterrupted functioning of critical systems.

By adhering to UL 60335-2-89, the refrigeration industry can effectively balance the dual objectives of environmental sustainability and safety.
