Without appropriate certification you cannot get equipment insured. Installing uncertified equipment anywhere exposes the company manufacturing, marketing, installing or owning the equipment up to all sorts of potentially devastating legal repercussions in the event of an accident or failure or unknown side-effect of any sort. Penalties would include both financial and criminal liability in case of accidents, even if the failure was totally unrelated to the LENR side of things, as most jurisdictions have various engineering certifications written into their laws. Manufacturing or selling the equipment in the US without appropriate certification would be commercially suicidal. At best Rossi might be OK manufacturing in Mexico or Asia and selling into the 1st world (like sporting equipment manufacturers do) - but even then the end users/owners and installers would be vulnerable.
At a bare minimum you would need to comply with the ASME Boiler and pressure vessel code for design, construction and testing of all of the pressure vessels involved, perhaps up to and including the nuclear related sections of the code. But at the point where the Government acknowledges that LENR it is real and working then every competing industry will be lobbying for bans, more study and greater regulation and any existing LENR products will overnight be made illegal due to the unknown nuclear processes at work. That situation will last until they have been closely examined, tested and any potentially deleterious effects are known - at which point the secret is out anyway. This is yet another reason why Rossi's commercial strategy is bound to fail. He might manage to sell one or two to unwise customers (in reality only to people intent on reverse engineering his breakthrough), but as soon as it is proved to work he is dead in the water in terms of 1st world sales for at least a year (probably much more given all of the vested interests trying to protect the status quo) and his ownership through secrecy will not survive that certification process.
