Codes and Standards Powering Ahead

Generac products are designed to the following standards:
For over 50 years, Generac has provided innovative design and
superior manufacturing.
UL2200, UL508, UL142, UL489
Generac ensures superior quality by designing and
manufacturing most of its generator components, including
NFPA 37, 70, 99, 110
alternators, enclosures and base tanks, control systems and
communications software.

NEC700, 701, 702, 708 Generac gensets utilize a wide variety of options, configurations
and arrangements, allowing us to meet the standby power needs
of practically every application.
ISO 3046, 7637, 8528, 9001
Generac searched globally to ensure the most reliable engines
power our generators. We choose only engines that have already
NEMA ICS10, MG1, 250, ICS6, AB1 been proven in heavy-duty industrial applications under adverse
conditions.

ANSI C62.41 Generac is committed to ensuring our customers’ service

support continues after their generator purchase.
