MTI MicroFuel Cells (MTI Micro), the developer of Mobion(TM) cord-free rechargeable portable power technology suitable for handheld electronic devices and a subsidiary of Mechanical Technology Incorporated (Nasdaq: MKTY), has received required safety certifications from Underwriter's Laboratories Inc. (UL) and CSA International (CSA) for its first product. The micro fuel cell product that has received certification, MTI Micro's Mobion(TM) power packs for military and industrial markets, is targeted for shipment by the end of 2004 for use in logistics and warehousing applications (such as RFID tag readers) where shorter run-time and re-charge maintenance of traditional batteries can reduce worker productivity. The Mobion(TM) power packs were manufactured by MTI Micro's manufacturing partner Flextronics, in San Jose, California.
MTI Micro has worked closely with Underwriters Laboratories and led the effort for UL's first-ever test requirements documentation for a micro fuel cell product. UL is an independent, not-for-profit product-safety testing and certification organization and has tested products for public safety for more than a century. Since its founding in 1894, UL has earned the reputation as a leader in product-safety testing and certification in North America and throughout the world.
Additionally, MTI Micro has been granted CSA's Certificate of Compliance for its Mobion(TM) power pack. CSA is a leading provider of product testing and certification services for compliance to national and international standards, and issues certification marks for qualified products. Certification marks tell potential customers and users that a product has been evaluated by a formal process-involving examination, testing and follow-up inspection, and that it complies with applicable standards for safety and performance. MTI Micro's CSA Certification applies to both U.S. and Canadian markets.
