Technical Lib

  UL Standard

UL evaluates more than 70 categories of wire and cable products, utilizing more than 30 UL Standards for Safety.

Typically, manufacturers produce different versions of the same cable types for different markets. This increases the design and production costs as well as fees for multiple testing and certifications. UL simplifies the complicated assessment process by finding out and evaluating the specific requirements applicable to your products. With one submission at one location, UL will help you gain the multiple certifications that your products need for various geographic markets.
