Recently, CHINT ELECTRIC's independently developed NG7-38(Z) Series Metal Enclosed Gas Insulated Switchgear has successfully passed rigorous testing by Intertek ETL, earning the prestigious ETL North American certification. As the first medium-voltage switchgear product in China to receive this certification, it marks another breakthrough for CHINT in high-end electrical equipment manufacturing and serves as a "golden pass" to the North American and global high-end markets.
Expanding North American Product Portfolio
Against the backdrop of global energy transition and grid upgrades, the North American market is widely regarded as a benchmark for testing enterprises' international strength due to its high technical barriers and strict safety regulations.
The NG7-38(Z) series GIS is CHINT's flagship product engineered for high reliability, maintenance-free operation, and strong environmental adaptability. Using low-pressure SF6 gas as the insulating medium, the product seals core components such as circuit breakers and disconnectors in a stainless-steel tank, delivering excellent performance in harsh conditions including high altitude, high humidity, and coastal salt spray environments.
As the first Chinese MV switchgear to obtain ETL certification, the NG7-38(Z) series has passed stringent North American standard tests on insulation performance, mechanical lifespan, electrical safety, and explosion-proof design. This certification is not only an authoritative recognition of CHINT's technical strength, but also a powerful statement of Chinese manufacturing on the global high-end equipment stage.
ETL: A Benchmark of North American Safety
While UL certification is widely known, ETL (Electrical Testing Laboratories) certification is equally recognized as one of North America's most trusted safety credentials and a key gateway to the U.S. and Canadian markets.
Founded in 1896 by Thomas Edison, ETL is a core member of the U.S. Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) and the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), enjoying a stellar reputation worldwide. The ETL mark carries the same legal weight as the UL mark, signifying that a product has passed Intertek ETL's rigorous testing and fully complies with U.S. and Canadian safety standards. ETL also enforces a strict dynamic monitoring mechanism, requiring certified manufacturers to undergo no fewer than four factory inspections per year to ensure consistent product quality.
Accelerating Global Footprint
Every top-tier international certification is built on long-term technological accumulation. With sustained R&D investment and a deep understanding of global standards, the NG7-38(Z) series GIS has obtained ETL certification, gaining entry into cutting-edge North American sectors such as new energy power generation, AI data centers, and high-end industrial power. Moving forward, CHINT will continue to leverage its global strategy, technological innovation, and reliable products to deliver safe, efficient, and trustworthy digital energy efficiency management solutions for customers worldwide.
