Turbo-molecular vacuum pumps meet safety standards

BOC Edwards has met the applicable CSA and ANSI/UL safety standards for its EXT turbo-molecular vacuum pumps, in direct response to customer demand from OEMs

BOC Edwards has been approved by the Canadian Safety Association (CSA) as having met the applicable CSA and ANSI/UL (American National Standards Institute/Underwriters Laboratories) safety standards for its EXT turbo-molecular vacuum pumps.

It is one of the first suppliers in the market to take this step, in direct response to customer demand from OEMs.

Equipment manufacturers in the global market who require CSA and ANSI/UL safety approvals have to demonstrate that the component parts of the system meet the required safety standard.

By opting for a vacuum pump that is already approved, the OEM can save significant time and resources.

The approval covers the BOC Edwards EXT70, EXT70H, EXT75DX, EXT255H, EXT255DX and EXTPX turbo pumps, all split-flow turbo pumps and all EXDC controllers.

The pumps feature a good ultimate vacuum and tolerance to high backing pressures, and their reliability makes them suitable for most scientific applications.

The approvals have been issued by the CSA as part of the National Registered Testing Laboratory scheme and are the equivalent of the laboratory safety standard EN61010 in Europe.

Further information on the relevant file LR105042 can be found on the CSA website.
