Posted on: Tuesday, 20 May 2008, 09:01 CDT

Critical backup power systems inventor and manufacturer Active Power, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACPW), today announced China's Ministry of Information Industry (MII) has certified multiple products in the company's CleanSource(R) UPS (uninterruptible power supply) 300 Series product line. This industrial certification is the result of an in-depth review of Active Power products and its manufacturing facility by MII inspectors.

"MII certification validates our product integrity as we execute our growth strategy of native geographic expansion," said Jim Clishem, president and CEO for Active Power. "According to a September 2007 report from IMS Research, China's growth will generate a large demand for IT related equipment and in turn UPS systems.
