Introduction to cTUVus certification
cTUVus is the North American certification mark of TUV Rheinland. As long as OSHA (U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration) is recognized as an NRTL (U.S. National Recognized Testing Laboratory) testing and certification organization, you can test and certify products entering the U.S. and Canadian markets. TUV Rheinland North America has the same qualifications as other NRTL organizations (e.g. UL, CSA) and can therefore help products successfully enter the US and Canadian markets. That is, all NRTL marks (cTUVus, UL, CSA) are equivalent.

The projects authorized by Rhine include: office equipment, information technology, business machines, audio-visual equipment, home appliances, laboratory equipment, medical equipment, test and measurement equipment and control equipment.

Technical data

· Frequency: 60Hz, voltage: single-phase 120V (most commonly used in the United States and Canada, measuring between fire ground lines, providing 15 or 20A protection lines); 240V (Measurement between water and fire lines, generally available)

· Voltage: three-phase 208/240V
