Is
Electrical Certification important when purchasing a sauna?
Yes.
Very Important. Electrical certification assures you
that the sauna has been tested to meet safety and performance
standards. For most consumers, electrical certification is taken for
granted. Often times many consumers do not even think about or look to
see if a product they are about to purchase displays a safety agency
mark. But, without a safety agency listing, there is no proof that a
product passes electrical and safety standards.
