North American markets represent a significant opportunity for HouseTech Group's OEM kitchen appliance business. With a combined population of over 370 million consumers and high standards for product quality and safety, entering this market requires rigorous certification. HouseTech is proud to announce the successful completion of ETL certification for its complete range hood and gas stove product lines.

ETL certification, administered by Intertek, is one of the most widely recognized safety marks in North America. Products bearing the ETL Mark have been tested to applicable North American safety standards and are found to be in compliance with relevant requirements.

HouseTech's ETL certification covers the following product categories:

  • Range Hoods: All wall-mounted, island-mounted, and under-cabinet models certified to UL 507 safety standards.
  • Gas Ranges: Freestanding and slide-in gas ranges meeting ANSI Z21.1 requirements.
  • Gas Cooktops: Built-in gas cooktops certified for residential use.
  • Commercial Products: Select models certified for commercial kitchen applications.

Our OEM partners can now confidently introduce HouseTech-manufactured products into North American retail channels, with full confidence in compliance and consumer safety." — HouseTech Quality Assurance Director
