Safety Certifications and Compliance Testing

Hotsy Pressure Washers Are Certified to Meet Several Industry Regulations

Did you know the equipment you’re buying has passed rigorous safety and compliance tests? Hotsy has! Below are several strict safety regulations and requirements where Hotsy equipment has successfully passed testing.

OSHA (CCOHS) regulation 1910.399 and 1910.303(a)
All electrical and other types of equipment used in the workplace must be “listed” by an “approved” testing agency. Failure to comply can result in penalties and removal of all equipment that does not display the certification mark from a NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories).

Worker Protection
Manufacturers that submit their product for certification are inspected by a NRTL (UL, CSA, ETL) to industry safety standards. These standards contain safety devices, testing, practices and warnings to protect the operator from any unforeseen danger.

Liability Protection
In this day of costly litigation, one of our best legal protections against an accident on the job is purchasing only equipment that has been certified by an NRTL to rigorous pressure washer industry safety standards.

CARB
Hotsy is compliant to section 213 of the Clean Air Act. Certificates of Conformity from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pursuant to section 213 of the Clean Air Act indicate Hotsy is compliant.

ISO
Hotsy’s manufacturing facilities are registered by TUV to both the international ISO-9001 quality standard and ISO-14001 Environmental Standard.

C-Tick
N-1417 is our registration number to verify our equipment has been tested for electrical interference emissions.
