Codes and Standards Powering Ahead

Generac ensures superior quality by designing and manufacturing
Generac products are designed to the following
most of its generator components, such as alternators, enclosures,
standards:
control systems and communications software. Generac also
makes its own spark-ignited engines, and you’ll find them on every
UL2200, UL6200, UL1236, UL489
Generac gaseous-fueled generator. We engineer and manufacture
them from the block up — all at our facilities throughout Wiscon-
sin. Applying natural gas and LP-fueled engines to generators re-
CSA C22.2, ULC S601
quires advanced engineering expertise to ensure reliability,
durability and necessary performance. By designing specifically for
TM

these dry, hotter-burning fuels, the engines last longer and require
BS5514 and DIN 6271
less maintenance. Building our own engines also means we control
every step of the supply chain and delivery process, so you benefit
SAE J1349 from single-source responsibility.
®

Plus, Generac Industrial Power’s distribution network provides all

NFPA 37, 70, 99, 110 parts and service so you don’t have to deal with third-party suppli-
ers. It all leads to a positive owner experience and higher confi-
dence level. Generac spark-ignited engines give you more options
NEC700, 701, 702, 708
in commercial and industrial generator applications as well as ex-
tended run time from utility-supplied natural gas.
