GuardRFID Conforms To Rigorous UL-294 Standard

Guard RFID Solutions Inc., announced recently that its next generation of Active RFID devices and system conform to the UL-294 Access Control Systems Standard, as tested by Intertek, the world's largest independent test, inspection and certification firm.

GuardRFID's Vice-President of Sales, Beth Bandi says, "By conforming to the Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) global standard, we offer our dealers and clients peace of mind that they have a highly reliable active RFID system, with the assurance that our control systems are an ideal choice for Security and Access Control applications, and will comply with local regulations."

Local officials often require Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) compliant products for project approval, just as architects and engineers prefer to specify the standard particularly in applications involving asset tracking for healthcare. The UL-294 standard outlines tests for computer equipment along with primary control systems for the operation of access control systems including integration with local ordinances such as fire systems. Access control systems that comply with the UL-294 standard undergo this rigorous testing to ensure that control entry or egress to a location meet the highest quality standards for construction, performance, and operation.

"Our active RFID products are designed and deployed to the highest standards," concluded Bandi, "We continue to offer superior products known for high quality and complete best in class solutions." Interested parties may contact Guard RFID for further information.
