The company received the certifications – the strictest of ISO 8573.1 classifications – from
TÜV Rheinland®, a Germany-based independent testing and assessment agency. Class 0 certifications
recognize compressors that discharge air free of added oil aerosols, liquids and vapors.
“The rigorous tests performed by TÜV Rheinland show our commitment to providing
best-in-class equipment for our customers,” said Eric Seidel, general manager, Ingersoll Rand
Industrial Air Solutions Business Unit.
