Serveron's Blackout-Preventing Systems Gain Europe's CE Marking and IEC Certification

Serveron Corporation, a leading provider of smart grid technology
to help prevent transformer failures and power system blackouts, today
announced it has received European regulatory approval and the CE
marking for its suite of transformer monitors, as well as
certification to several European Norm (EN) and International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards.

The CE Marking, also known as an electronic product's trade
"passport" for Europe, indicates compliance with the essential health
and safety requirements established by European Directives. The
letters 'CE' are a designation also widely recognized and accepted in
other markets throughout the world.

In addition to the CE mark, Serveron has been certified to a
variety of EN standards, which are set by the European Committee for
Standardization (CEN), for radiated and conducted emissions and
immunity, as well as certification to (IEC) standards for product
safety. The IEC is the international standards and conformity
assessment body for all fields of electrotechnology.

Serveron's CEO Bart Tichelman stated, "Although customers for
Serveron's products do not require suppliers to obtain CE designation,
we pursued the approvals to demonstrate our broad commitment to the
European market and the reliability of our products for the harsh
environment of electric power generation facilities as well as
transmission and distribution substations."

"Serveron has uniquely focused on developing well-designed
products that meet international standards for performance,
reliability and safety," Mr. Tichelman continued. "Use of our on-line
monitoring has demonstrated that it prevents catastrophic failures of
the large power transformers that are among an electric utility's most
valuable assets."

Power transformers, which either step-up or step-down the voltage
of electricity to enable its transmission and distribution, represent
the single largest asset class for power generating and power
distribution companies other than the power plants themselves.
Replacement cost for a failed transformer can range from EUR 1 million
to EUR 5 million or more, and there are hundreds of thousands of such
units now deployed worldwide.

More than a dozen major electric utilities in the United States
are committed to new voluntary transformer-monitoring standards to
help prevent transformer failures, which can be a major cause of
blackouts. Serveron now markets its advanced dissolved gas transformer
monitoring technology to electric utilities, and other power
generating and distribution organizations in Europe and around the
world. They enable power producers to constructively address the
impact on global reliability of aging power generation and
distribution infrastructure.

On-site transformer monitoring helps electric utilities manage
their expensive transformer assets more reliably, operate them with a
greater margin of safety, enabling them to minimize or delay the costs
of repairing or replacing these valuable assets.
