Compliance · Every market, worldwide
Certified for
every market.
A load bank is only useful if it is accepted on site. Ashford systems are engineered to international standards and supplied to meet the certification and conformity requirements of the market they ship to — in both 50 Hz and 60 Hz builds. Tell us the destination and we will confirm the exact compliance route.
Our approach
Built to the
standard your
market demands.
Every market has its own gatekeeper. North America needs UL/NRTL listing; the EU and UK need CE and UKCA; the Gulf needs SASO and G-Mark; India needs BIS; marine and offshore work needs class approval. We engineer to the internationally-recognised IEC base standards and then certify each unit to the destination market's requirements.
Certifications listed below indicate the compliance routes Ashford supplies to. The specific marks applied to a given order are confirmed per project and destination — ask our compliance team for the exact scope for your market.

Why it matters
Accepted on site,
anywhere.

Supplied with the destination market's conformity marks — UL, CE, UKCA, SASO, G-Mark, ECAS, INMETRO, NOM and more.
Marine Classification
Load banks for vessels, rigs and offshore platforms supplied to DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register and ClassNK type approval.
Hazardous Area
IECEx and ATEX routes available for oil, gas and petrochemical applications where zoned certification is required.
