With this independent, third party verification, UV Resources has demonstrated that its GLO family of Upper-Room UV fixtures meet ozone emission concentration limits of less than 0.005 ppm (5 ppb).

Key Points: 
  • With this independent, third party verification, UV Resources has demonstrated that its GLO family of Upper-Room UV fixtures meet ozone emission concentration limits of less than 0.005 ppm (5 ppb).
  • The UL2998 ozone emission standard is 10 times less than current levels permitted under UL867, which allows ozone production concentrations of 0.05 ppm (50 ppb).
  • "We're happy the test results confirmed what's been known for decadesUVC lamps do not produce or create ozone," said Daniel Jones, president of UV Resources.
  • Independent testing has verified that the UV Resources GLO family of Upper Room UV fixtures meet UL2998 ozone concentration limits of less than 0.005 ppm.
