Inova’s NovaCool CDU-ICDU1500 wins UL, CE and FCC certifications

Inova said its NovaCool CDU-ICDU1500 coolant distribution unit has earned UL 62368-1, CE and FCC certifications, clearing a key hurdle for global AI and high-density data center deployments. The approvals signal the product has passed safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements used in supplier qualification and project reviews.

Why it matters: - The certifications give data center buyers independent proof that the NovaCool CDU-ICDU1500 meets major safety and EMC requirements. - The approvals are especially relevant for AI and HPC infrastructure, where liquid cooling is becoming a preferred thermal management option. - Inova said the certifications can speed supplier qualification, compliance review and project approval for global deployments.

What happened: - Inova announced on July 10, 2026, that the NovaCool CDU-ICDU1500 has obtained UL 62368-1, CE and FCC certifications. - The product is a coolant distribution unit built for AI, HPC and high-density data center applications. - The company said the certifications support readiness for deployment across global markets.

The details: - UL 62368-1 certification covers safety requirements for liquid cooling systems, including coolant circuit integrity, material compatibility, leakage prevention and structural robustness under normal and fault conditions. - To meet clause G.15 of UL 62368-1, the NovaCool CDU-ICDU1500 completed 40-day coolant compatibility testing for all non-metallic sealing materials. - The unit also underwent accelerated thermal aging at 87°C for 14 consecutive days on the entire coolant circuit assembly. - After thermal aging, the system completed hydrostatic pressure testing to verify integrity and leak-tightness. - Thermal cycling on the entire coolant circuit assembly simulated repeated operating temperature changes and checked coolant circuit integrity, sealing performance and mechanical durability. - CE certification confirms compliance with European Union safety, EMC and RoHS requirements. - FCC certification covers electromagnetic compatibility for deployment in the United States. - The NovaCool CDU-ICDU1500 is available through Inova's global sales network. - More information is available on the product page and at Inova's website.

Between the lines: - Third-party certification is becoming a more important buying signal as AI infrastructure shifts toward liquid cooling. - For suppliers, passing region-specific standards can reduce friction when customers evaluate equipment for global rollouts. - Stella Xie, Compliance Manager at Inova, said the certification reflects the engineering, material selection, validation testing and quality management behind the NovaCool CDU-ICDU1500.

What's next: - Inova is now positioning the NovaCool CDU-ICDU1500 for broader international deployment. - Customers can use the certifications to move faster through procurement and approval workflows. - Inova will likely continue marketing the unit through its global sales network as demand for liquid cooling infrastructure grows.

The bottom line: - The NovaCool CDU-ICDU1500 has cleared three major certifications, giving Inova a stronger case for global AI and data center sales.
