Cleaver-Brooks Safety Standards

Cleaver-Brooks used to have safety standards based on IRI but not anymore - what are they based on now? How have these safety standards and regulations changed?

While Industrial Risk Insurers (IRI) used to be a key driver of safety standards for Cleaver-Brooks and other industrial equipment manufacturers, today the company is guided by a variety of industry standards and regulations, including those set forth by organizations like ASME, NFPA, FM, and UL.

Over time, safety standards and regulations for boilers and other industrial equipment have evolved and become more stringent. For example, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 placed new limits on emissions of pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), which required manufacturers to develop new technologies and equipment designs to meet these regulations.

In recent years, there has also been a growing emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency, which has led to new regulations and standards related to boiler efficiency, emissions reduction, and renewable energy sources. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ENERGY STAR program provides guidelines for energy-efficient equipment and appliances, including boilers, which has driven innovation in this area.

Cleaver-Brooks stays up-to-date with the latest regulations and industry standards in order to ensure that our equipment is safe, reliable, and compliant with the law.
