SGS to deliver ENERGY STAR certification for medical imaging equipment

Published: 15-May-2025

SGS is proud to have gained approval from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to expand its scope as a recognised third-party certification body (CB) for ENERGY STAR

The approval, received 3 April  2025, gives SGS the green light to undertake the testing and certification of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines under the ENERGY STAR label.

Achieving ENERGY STAR certification allows brands and manufacturers to demonstrate that a device uses less energy in ready to scan mode as well as via an automated power down to an energy saving low power state.

Once certified, the blue ENERGY STAR® label makes it easy for consumers and businesses to identify and purchase energy efficient products that offer savings on energy bills without sacrificing performance.

Ana Ruas, Certification Manager, Connectivity & Products, SGS said: “This accreditation puts us in a great position to support the growing number of medical device manufacturers and retailers working hard to develop and bring energy efficient equipment to market."

"Congratulations to our team for this achievement which will help boost sustainability and innovation across this industry.”
 
Since 1992, ENERGY STAR and its partners have helped American families and businesses to

  • save 5 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity

  • avoid more than  $500 billion in energy costs

  • achieve 4 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
