LIB Industry Leads in EU Low-GWP Environmental Testing Solutions
The LIB Industry has made significant strides in environmental sustainability by continuously deploying EU-compliant low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) environmental test chambers throughout Europe. This development comes one year after the formal enforcement of EU regulations aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions. The company’s proactive approach to implementing low-GWP technology is a testament to its commitment to environmental responsibility and innovation in the testing sector.
In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2024/537, which limits the GWP value of refrigerants used in industrial plants sold in the EU to 150, the shift from political discourse to operational compliance signifies a critical transition for manufacturers and laboratories. As procurement standards tighten, there is an increasing preference for proven compliant systems over transitional solutions that may face future restrictions.
Positioned as one of the pioneering Chinese manufacturers adapting to the EU's stringent low greenhouse gas emission requirements, LIB Industry initiated an alignment of its environmental chambers before the regulation took effect. This included a complete redesign of temperature, humidity, and thermal cycling chambers, which are now actively utilized in multiple European testing facilities.
Instead of simply replacing refrigerants within existing platforms, LIB Industry introduced refrigerant combinations with exceptionally low global warming potential, supported by optimized cascade refrigeration architectures. These systems are engineered to maintain stable performance even at temperatures as low as -70 °C, while simultaneously reducing overall energy consumption based on internal operational data.
"Achieving compliance with low-GWP standards necessitates a comprehensive technical approach across the entire system," commented LIB Industry. With a year of field operation behind them, European customers are increasingly focused on lifecycle efficiency, upgrade flexibility, and long-term compliance with regulations.
Based on customer feedback and internal demand data, LIB Industry continues to report sustained interest in both new low-GWP environmental chambers and retrofit solutions designed to replace existing high GWP equipment. The company has expanded its Low-GWP engineering platform to facilitate tailored and non-standardized chamber configurations that comply with EU thresholds.
The environmental simulation portfolio from LIB Industry includes temperature and humidity chambers, IP dust and rain test chambers, UV weathering chambers, gas test chambers, and salt spray test chambers, available in both standard and fully customized formats. This comprehensive approach ensures that laboratories can effectively adapt to evolving environmental standards as regulatory frameworks transition from political aims to operational realities.
With installations in nearly 60 countries and an expanding service network, LIB Industry remains committed to assisting laboratories in meeting their evolving environmental needs as sustainability regulations advance.
