UL Solutions has been officially recognised as a testing laboratory under the Heat Pump KEYMARK certification scheme, becoming the 31st facility to receive this designation. The company’s lab in Carugate, Italy, is now authorised to carry out the scheme’s required testing procedures.
This recognition allows UL Solutions to offer integrated services to heat pump manufacturers, from initial testing through to final certification. The certification supports compliance with European standards and aims to enhance product credibility across the region.
Testing laboratories play a central role in the KEYMARK scheme by conducting independent, standardised evaluations to verify performance, safety and consistency. The inclusion of UL Solutions’ Carugate facility adds to the network’s overall testing capacity.
“Becoming a recognised testing laboratory within the Heat Pump KEYMARK scheme is a natural extension of UL Solutions’ support for our customers with comprehensive and integrated services,” said Alberto Vitaletti, senior product manager for HVACR at UL Solutions. “It strengthens our ability to help manufacturers demonstrate compliance and performance, especially in a market increasingly focused on energy efficiency and low-global-warming-potential technologies.”
Leopoldo Micò, head of the Heat Pump KEYMARK Secretariat, added: “UL Solutions’ dual role as both a testing laboratory and a certification body reflects the growing trust and alignment between KEYMARK’s rigorous procedures and industry leaders committed to sustainability and excellence.”
