Anton/Bauer, a Videndum brand and the industry leader in mobile power solutions for broadcast and cinematic production, announces that theEden Mobile Power Station has achieved full cUL/UL certification. This milestone distinguishes Eden as the only Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) unit in its class cleared for professional use across both the United States and Canada, meeting the increasingly stringent safety mandates of global streamers, studios, and fire marshals.
As production environments face heightened regulatory scrutiny, the distinction between “compliant” and “certified” has become a critical operational factor. While many power solutions utilize internal self-testing or workarounds, the Anton/Bauer Eden has undergone rigorous third-party testing to earn the UL Listed (USA) and cUL Listed (Canada) badges, certifying it for electrical safety, fire risk mitigation, and mechanical integrity.
Meeting the Demands of Modern Production
The industry is witnessing a rapid shift toward mandatory certification. Major U.S. streamers and broadcasters now require certified equipment as a prerequisite for set access. In Canada, safety inspectors and provincial authorities are actively removing non-cUL certified power systems from locations, leading to costly downtime and logistical delays.
“To earn dual cUL/UL certification, Eden was stress-tested for worst-case scenarios, including thermal runaway under high loads and structural integrity in harsh production environments,” said Andrew Hutton, Product Manager, at Anton/Bauer. “For rental houses and studio managers, this isn’t just about power—it’s about liability protection and ensuring that a safety inspection never results in a production shutdown.”
The Gold Standard for Safety and Reliability
The cUL/UL certification confirms that Eden is engineered to behave predictably under pressure. Key safety benchmarks achieved include:
- Thermal Management: Containment under sustained high-load operations.
- Electrical Defense: Advanced protection against short circuits and overcurrent events.
- Fault Containment: Verified electrical fault and containment systems.
- Durability: Confirmed structural integrity for commercial and broadcast use.
From St. John’s, NL, to Honolulu, HI, the Anton/Bauer Eden provides production teams with the peace of mind that their power source is legal, safe, and insurance-compliant.
