Ontario, Calif. — Manufacturers of swimming pool pumps can now fulfill all of their product certification needs through IAPMO R&T — a third-party certification body fully accredited by the American National Standards Institute to do so.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has granted recognition to IAPMO R&T for the third-party certification of swimming pool pumps to the ENERGY STAR® product labeling system. This recognition provides a perfect complement to IAPMO R&T’s ANSI-accredited certification for pool pumps and other materials/ components used in swimming pools.
“ENERGY STAR certification adds yet another dimension to the comprehensive menu of services IAPMO R&T can already offer to the manufacturers of pool pumps,” said GP Russ Chaney, CEO of The IAPMO Group. “Now those manufacturers can certify and market the energy-saving capabilities of their products with the same great customer service and highly respected mark of conformity IAPMO R&T provides.”
IAPMO R&T, North America’s premier plumbing and mechanical product certification agency, has for decades provided certification services to manufacturers of swimming pool and spa products. IAPMO R&T’s Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code (USPSHTC) marks of conformity tell consumers and inspectors alike that the products bearing them meet the minimum standards that govern their use in the United States and Canada.
