Equipment Certification

Equipment Certification Form
(Acrobat PDF file)

Please note: this form is dated March 2002 and does not address newer Rule 21 testing requirements (IEEE 1547.1-2005 and UL 1741). Until a revised version is prepared by the Rule 21 Work Group, this form may be modified by the testing laboratory as needed to summarize the relevant results.

The following equipment has been tested by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory as having met the Type Testing and Production Testing requirements of California Rule 21. Please note that the use of Certified Equipment is not a requirement for interconnection in California but intended to simplify the interconnection approval process.
