As our world continues to change, industries must evolve to meet new challenges. At Hoover, we understand the importance of staying ahead, which is why we have focused on building strong partnerships and earning valuable certifications. Most notably, Hoover is the first Fire-Retardant Treated Wood (FRTW) provider to demonstrate compliance with the 2024 editions of the model codes, marking a major milestone in both our company’s history and the industry at large.
Being first in the industry to achieve UL 2024 certification is a powerful endorsement of the quality and safety of our products. This certification sets us apart, reinforcing our commitment to meeting the highest safety standards and providing our customers with products they can trust. UL Solutions (Underwriters Laboratories) is one of the most recognized and respected names in safety and performance testing, and their certification is more than just a stamp of approval—it’s a testament to the safety, reliability, and durability of our products.
At Hoover, we take pride in knowing that our products have undergone the rigorous testing required to meet the stringent requirements of the 2024 model codes. This achievement underscores our leadership in the FRTW space, and it gives our customers an extra layer of trust and confidence. When they choose Hoover, they’re not just getting a product—they’re getting the peace of mind that comes with knowing it meets the highest standards.
But why does third-party certification matter? It provides that extra assurance for our customers.
With the UL Classified mark, builders, architects, and regulators know that Hoover’s products meet and exceed the safety requirements of the codes. In today’s market, where trust and reliability are more important than ever, this kind of verification is invaluable.
Beyond customer confidence, being first to demonstrate compliance with the 2024 International Building Code (IBC) and 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) also positions us as the leader in our industry. Not every company takes on the challenge of rigorous third-party testing. By achieving this certification, Hoover demonstrates that we’re not just meeting the minimum requirements—we’re setting the standard. This distinction is critical in a market where building officials often demand UL-listed designs to ensure compliance.
Additionally, certifications like this open doors to new business opportunities. Many government contracts, large retailers, and global clients require third-party certification to even consider working with a company. With our new UL Evaluation Report, Hoover is positioned as a trusted partner for these high-profile projects, allowing us to continue leading the industry forward.
At Hoover, our partnership with UL reflects our commitment to quality, safety, and innovation. We believe that these partnerships are essential to maintaining our leadership in the industry. By continually working with trusted third-party organizations like UL, we ensure that our products not only meet today’s standards but also anticipate the needs of tomorrow.
As the first FRTW producer to demonstrate compliance with the 2024 model codes, Hoover is proud to set the standard for the industry. This recognition is more than an achievement—it’s a message to our customers that they can rely on us to deliver the highest level of safety and performance. By maintaining these high standards, we ensure that Hoover will continue to lead the way in a rapidly changing world.
