What is UL certification?（1）

UL is mainly engaged in product safety certification and operating safety certification business. Its ultimate goal is to obtain products with a relatively safe level for the market, and to contribute to the assurance of personal health and property safety. In terms of product safety certification as an effective means to eliminate technical barriers to international trade, UL also plays an active role in promoting the development of international trade.

UL was founded in 1894. In the initial stage, UL mainly relied on the funds provided by the fire insurance department to maintain its operations. It was not until 1916 that UL was completely independent. After nearly a hundred years of development, UL has become a world-renowned certification body with a set of strict organizational management systems, standard development and product certification procedures. UL is governed by a council of representatives from safety experts, government officials, consumers, education, utilities, insurance and the standards sector, with day-to-day work being handled by the president and vice president. At present, UL has five laboratories in the United States, headquartered in Northbrook Town, north of Chicago, and has corresponding laboratories in Taiwan and Hong Kong respectively. In the United States, UL is a symbol of safety marks for consumers, and globally, UL is one of the most trusted conformity assessment providers for manufacturers.
