The UL certification is recognized in many nations throughout the world as a mark of dependability and safety. Such popularity is deserved by many advantages:

There are a number of products that require UL certification as they all have the potential to cause serious bodily injury to the user if proper safety standards are not followed. UL standards refer to six technical sectors:

  • electrical engineering;
  • fire safety;
  • anti-theft devices and alarms;
  • heating and air conditioning;
  • injury and chemical damage.

How to get certified: 5 easy steps

  1. The applicant submits a written application that includes details of the applicant’s company as well as the relevant product. Moreover, the manufacturing process must comply with the characteristics of the special design according to the product information.
  2. Based on the information provided about the product, the company UL provides an estimate that includes the relevant UL standard, labor costs, amount of time required, number of test pieces required, and more.
  3. The applicant submits the completed application form and test samples to UL.
  4. Upon receipt by UL of the completed application form, payment, and test samples, testing will begin and UL will notify the applicant of a completion date. If the test pieces fail the test, UL will notify the applicant, who can make the necessary modifications and provide new test pieces.
  5. Upon completion of testing, UL issues a statement stating that the applicant’s product has received UL approval. Subsequently, UL conducts unannounced inspections and retests.

The consumer must be confident in the quality and safety of the purchased product, which is why it is important to conduct product safety studies and obtain UL certification.
