What is UL?

Underwriters Laboratories: Product Safety for the North American Market

UL stands for Underwriters Laboratories, a renowned, independent, and globally operating organization. Its primary task is to test and certify products for their safety. A UL certification confirms that a product meets strict safety standards aimed at minimizing risks such as fire hazards, electric shock, or mechanical hazards. UL certification is particularly crucial in the North American market (USA and Canada) and is often a prerequisite for the sale and installation of electrical and electronic products, as it demonstrates conformity with local safety regulations.
