AHRI to develop Canadian standards for HVAC equipment

The Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) based in the U.S. has been accredited by the Standards Council of Canada to develop national standards here. The accreditation was effective from December 17, 2013.

“The accreditation of AHRI as a Canadian SDO fulfills a long-sought goal of our organization and its 300+ member manufacturers, many of whom provide products and equipment to Canadian customers,” said AHRI president and chief executive officer Stephen Yurek. “It also helps fulfill our ultimate goal of complete standards and certification harmonization throughout North America.”
