UL Solutions announced the opening of a new portable generator testing laboratory at its complex in Toronto, North America. This facility is designed to help global manufacturers bring safer portable generators to market.
The laboratory tests portable generators to UL 2201, the Standard for Carbon Monoxide (CO) Emission Rate of Portable Generators. This standard requires generators to limit active CO emissions and include a sensor for automatic shutoff if high CO output is detected.
This expansion addresses a significant safety concern, as portable generator misuse is linked to an average of 92 CO poisoning deaths in the U.S. each year. The new capabilities aim to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning for humans and pets.
