The new 22,600sqft testing facility houses 22 testing chambers, including: fourteen climate chambers, four damp heat chambers, two walk-ins and two temperature and humidity ovens and other testing equipment.
This added capacity allows UL to offer its European customers fast and cost efficient testing processes due to the local presence and an engineering team that speaks the local language.
The portfolio of services allows for global conformity assessment according to UL, IEC and EN certification requirements and enables fast global market access for UL’s customers.
Jeff Smidt, vice president and general manager of global energy business at UL, said: “The opening of the German facility marks another milestone in our photovoltaic global expansion and underscores our commitment to the industry and our customers.
“Whether it is through our industry expertise, innovations in our service portfolio or investing in state-of-the-art facilities, we are expanding our capabilities to help manufacturers deliver innovative and safe PV products to the market.”
