LUV Systems Secures CARB Certification, Advancing Commercial Readiness of halō™ Platform
SACRAMENTO, CA (November 2, 2023) - LUV Systems, Inc. today announced that its halō™ Model 5R/M indoor air disinfection system has received certification from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as a compliant air cleaning device. This milestone represents a critical step in the company’s regulatory strategy and supports broader commercialization in one of the most stringent air quality markets in the world.
CARB certification is widely regarded as the benchmark for air cleaner safety in the United States, with rigorous requirements focused on ozone emissions and indoor occupant safety. Approval of the halō system follows successful completion of UL/ETL certification and confirms compliance with California’s strict environmental and public health standards.
Anu Sood, CEO of LUV Systems, stated: “CARB certification is a significant milestone for the halō platform. California’s program sets the highest standard for air cleaner safety, and this approval validates our core design objective - safe, continuous operation in occupied environments.”
The halō Model 5R/M is a first-of-its-kind low-UVC air disinfection system engineered for continuous use in occupied spaces. The platform integrates:
- A proprietary upflow fan system that captures air from the breathing zone
- A LUV™ light ring that disinfects air using controlled UVC exposure
- Recirculation of treated air back into the indoor environment
This approach targets airborne pathogens at their source while maintaining occupant safety - an increasingly critical requirement for modern indoor environments.
- Proven Effectiveness - Demonstrated reduction of airborne pathogens
- Engineered Safety - Certified for operation around people and pets
- Scalable Affordability - Designed for broad residential and commercial deployment
Ultraviolet disinfection is a long-established technology with over a century of use across healthcare, laboratory, and water treatment applications. LUV Systems enhances this foundation with a proprietary dosing algorithm that improves the predictability and scalability of air disinfection performance in real-world conditions.
With both UL/ETL and CARB certifications secured, LUV Systems is well-positioned to expand deployment, accelerate market adoption, and capitalize on growing demand for safe, compliant indoor air quality (IAQ) solutions.
