StyleView is completely certified—at both the power and cart levels—making it unique.

Certification Is a Priority

Ergotron is certified in accordance with ISO 9001:2000. This certification demonstrates Ergotron’s commitment to employing best-practice procedures in its facilities.

One reason for attaining this ISO certification is because Ergotron takes safety very seriously. And that is why we go a step further and emphasize complete certification of many of our products. For example, StyleView Carts are fully certified to the UL/EN 60601-1 standard that regulates Electrical Medical Devices. This means the entire power system AND the cart itself are certified by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).

No other company can make this claim about their open-architecture cart. In fact, competitors’ declarations of “power system” certification may not include all components of the system. And issues like cart mechanics and grounding are ignored. Full cart certification eliminates any fear of EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and controls leakage to NFPA levels.

Look for the sticker: Certified carts display a label on their outside as proof of certification. Ergotron’s StyleView has it—for the entire cart!
