Swegon North America is pleased to announce that its GOLD air handling unit product line has achieved A2L certification to UL Standard 60335-2-40, the new benchmark for HVAC equipment safety. The certification supports the HVAC industry's transition to lower-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants while ensuring the highest levels of safety and performance.

"As the HVAC industry continues its transition to lower-GWP refrigerants, safety, sustainability, and long-term performance remain top priorities for building owners and designers," said Noamaan Shaikh, Vice President, Climate Systems at Swegon. "Achieving A2L certification for our GOLD product line demonstrates Swegon's commitment to delivering future-ready ventilation solutions that help customers meet evolving regulatory and environmental requirements without compromising performance, reliability, or indoor environmental quality."

For consulting engineers, contractors, developers, and building owners, A2L certification provides confidence that Swegon's GOLD units are prepared to meet emerging regulatory requirements and refrigerant transition initiatives..

A2L refrigerants have significantly lower global warming potential than many conventional refrigerants and are expected to play an important role in reducing the environmental impact of HVAC systems. UL 60335-2-40 establishes enhanced safety requirements for equipment utilizing these refrigerants, helping manufacturers and customers navigate the industry's transition with confidence.

A2L UL-certified GOLD units are available immediately through Swegon's sales and distribution network across North America. Customers can contact their local Swegon representative for product availability, application support, and project-specific guidance.
