Aquarium Heater Dry-Burn Protection Becomes Global Safety Standard

October 18, 2024 · Safety Watch

Per APPA data, 67% of 2023 aquarium accidents stemmed from dry-burning or faulty temperature control. Key markets have enacted mandates:

USA: UL 1017 dry-burn certification required by 2025.

EU: Mandatory water-level sensors with ≤2-second response time.

China’s Response:

Taucken's full range of aquarium heaters has passed global safety standards and has opened an aquatic safety laboratory to test equipment under extreme conditions (-20°C to 50°C).

Aquatics International remarked, “China’s rapid iteration capabilities are redefining the industry. China suppliers upgraded dry-burn technology from design to mass production in 6 months—half the time of Western competitors.”
