Eaton's Cutler-Hammer electrical distribution and power control equipment has been seismic tested and exceeds the requirements contained in the International Building Code (2006) and the California Building Code (2007).

Eaton is highly experienced in the design, manufacture and seismic certification of electrical distribution equipment to meet the most rigorous seismic standards. Eaton continues to conduct a comprehensive program to verify the seismic acceptability of our entire family of electrical equipment for applications requiring certification to the IBC and CBC requirements. Starting more than 10 years ago, several hundred different assemblies representing all product lines were successfully tested and verified to seismic levels higher than the maximum seismic requirements specified in the IBC and CBC. The equipment maintained structural integrity and demonstrated the ability to function before and immediately after the seismic tests.

This achievement, an industry first, is consistent with Eaton's commitment to produce the most reliable equipment, exceeding present and future requirements.
