SKYE INTERNATIONAL INC. EARNS ETL LISTED MARK FOR PRODUCT SAFETY

October 27, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
Scottsdale, AZ/ October 26, 2007/ SKYE International Inc. (OTCBB: SKYY) today announced that its FORTIS™ series Electric Whole House Water Heater has passed its pre-market product safety testing regimen by Intertek ETL SEMKO, a global, independent third-party testing lab and certification agency. As evidence of its compliance to UL Standard 499, all FORTIS™ tankless water heaters will bear Intertek’s proprietary and universally accepted and trusted ETL Listed Mark.

Intertek’s ETL Listed Mark is one of several product certification marks (such as the UL or CSA marks) that demonstrate compliance to national consensus standards Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), requires manufacturers to submit their products to a Nationally and OSHA Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) – for evaluation and certification to rigid consensus safety standards. Intertek is an NRTL in the U.S. and is accredited as a Testing Organization (TO) and Certification Body (CB) by the Standards Council of Canada as well. Its ETL Listed Mark is recognized by fire marshals, building inspectors, and other Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) code officials throughout North America.

According to SKYE President Perry Logan, the certification of the FORTIS™ product line now sets the stage for SKYE to commence production of its new product line by early November, with full production slated for early 2008. The FORTIS™ line of tankless electric water heaters elevates tankless technology to a new level. The introduction of FORTIS™ to the marketplace means that American families can enjoy the freedom of endless hot water while enjoying the energy savings that result from this safe, durable and ultra-efficient appliance.

“The FORTIS™ line will set a new industry benchmark and we are excited that it will soon be available to consumers in the marketplace,” Logan said.

According to Logan, consumers have developed brand preferences for home appliances like refrigerators, ovens and even plumbing fixtures. Now, even water heaters are gaining consumer brand recognition and SKYE aims to be the premium brand of choice for the benefit-aware consumer who is looking for what is best for their family and the environment.

“From the durable, high-end stainless steel construction and advanced, ultra-safe avionics grade electronics, FORTIS™ has features that discerning homebuyers will recognize and prefer in making their home even more livable and family-friendly,” Logan said.

Logan said in the past, water heaters were considered a necessary, but often overlooked appliance. Now, as consumers become more knowledgeable and aware of specific features and benefits, he expects consumers will exercise brand preference in the water heater category and ask for the SKYE brand from their homebuilder or contractor.
