2022 Edition of RV Generator Standard Now Available

The RV Industry Association is an accredited standards developer by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), a non-profit association that establishes procedures and guidelines to create recognized minimum safety standards for products used by both consumers and industry. ANSI sanctions standards that have been created following accredited procedures that allow all affected and materially interested parties a voice in their development. As an accredited standards developer, the RV Industry Association has developed six standards to assist member manufacturers in the construction of safer RVs.

One of those standards is the ANSI/RVIA EGS-1 Standard that sets forth the safety requirements and standards for engine generator sets. Through the ANSI process, the RV Industry Association recently updated this standard which applies to the installation, maintenance, and operation of generators in RVs.

The new 2022 edition of the ANSI/RVIA Engine Generator Sets for Recreational Vehicle Safety Requirements (EGS-1) Standard is now available for $30.00 for non-members and $25.00 for members per copy.

Members can view the full Standards News Bulletin on the new standard here.

For any questions regarding the EGS-1 Standard, please contact Tyler Reamer, RV Industry Association Standards Coordinator at treamer@rvia.org.
