Certification is a formal mark of safety, performance, and compliance issued to products that meet the rigorous standards developed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a global safety science company founded in 1894. Our cooktop is certified by MET Laboratories to UL 858, the U.S. standard for household electric ranges. That means it’s been tested to ensure safe operation under both normal and abnormal conditions.

Builders, retailers, inspectors, and insurers require products in your home to carry this kind of certification. If you want to sell appliances in the US, even something as simple as a toaster, certifying with UL, MET, CSA, or another listing body is the bar. 

UL has been setting the benchmark for electrical safety in the U.S. for over a century. If you’ve ever plugged something in and trusted it wouldn’t shock you, overheat, or catch fire — UL likely had a hand in that.

Certification is enforced by:

• Building inspectors under NEC Article 110.3(B)
• Insurance providers
• Retail and distribution partners

Different products and even parts of products require their own testing procedures and certifications. We worked with several labs to certify each part of the HyperCore Cooktop and the appliance as a whole:

HyperCore Safety Certifications

• UL 858: The national safety standard for household electric ranges.
• UL 1973: Covers the safety of the internal LFP battery pack itself.
• UL 1741: Regulates the internal bidirectional inverter used to manage power between the wall and the cooktop.
• UL 60730: Governs the functional safety of the internal software and automatic controls.

So, when you see the certification mark on our cooktop, you can be certain: This is a product that’s been engineered, tested, and validated to meet the most rigorous safety and performance standards in the country.
