Altergy Receives ANSI/CSA FC-1 Certification/Listing

FOLSOM, California – November 18, 2008 – Altergy Systems announced today that its Freedom Power Systems (524 Series) of fuel cell power systems have received full certification to the American National Standards/CSA America Standard for Stationary Fuel Cell Power Systems (ANSI/CSA FC-1) requirements.  Certification testing was performed by CSA International.

ANSI/CSA FC-1 is the industry standard for stationary fuel cell power systems assuring customers that listed fuel cells meet rigorous safety and performance requirements.  Listing to this standard is required by many building and other regulatory codes, including NFPA 853.  Additionally, these advanced fuel cell systems also meet the requirements of FCC Part 15, Subpart B, Class A, which is required by law for sales within the US for use in industrial/commercial applications.

CSA International is a leading provider of product testing and certification services.  They test products for compliance to national and international standards, and issue certification marks for qualified products.  Certification marks tell potential customers and users that a product has been evaluated by a formal process--involving examination, testing and follow-up inspection--and that it complies with applicable standards for safety and performance.

“ANSI/CSA FC-1 certification verifies the soundness of Altergy’s design and product safety as well as the integrity and consistency of its manufacturing processes and controls.  These certifications clear the way for wide scale deployment of Altergy’s Freedom Power systems in the US and other countries that recognize the certification mark.  Altergy’s automated, high volume production line is now producing certified systems that customers can depend on for uninterrupted power,” stated Chris Radley, Altergy’s Vice President of Product and Process Engineering.
