- 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive)
- 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive)
- 2014/30/EU (EMC Directive)
- Electrical Safety of Installations and Machines DIN EN60204
Technical Policies of the Eurasian Customs Union (TR CU)
All Heating and cooling systems can be certified in accordance with the latest directives of the Eurasian Customs Union. The current member states are:
- Armenia
- Kazakhstan

ASME Certification
The North American market, in particular requires ASME certification of all pressure vessels. After successful testing, these vessels receive the so-called U Stamp. LAUDA will provide pressure vessels with this qualification if required.
UL 508A Directive
All LAUDA systems are supplied with an integrated switch cabinet. Here the directives of the UL 508A apply to the North American market. LAUDA can manufacture the switch cabinet in accordance with these directives and have the switch cabinets certified in accordance with UL 508A by one of the authorities listed.
SELO Certification
The importation of pressure vessels to China requires prior registration with the SELO Authority located in Beijing. LAUDA works with registered suppliers of vessels for this purpose. The registered components are marked on the type plate as required.
KC Mark for Korea
The Korean organization KOSHA tests the safety of machines and installations for operation in Korea. All the LAUDA documentation is submitted to KOSHA for testing in collaboration with accredited testing authorities. The LAUDA installation is then delivered with the KC mark after confirmation of conformity.
