Q: |
What is UL recognition? |
A: |
UL recognition means that a device, system or material has been tested and certified to meet specific safety standards. Safety and warning labels are required on many electrical products including computers, televisions, household appliances, power cords and power tools. UL testing assures that the labels are made from safe and durable materials that will remain intact on the product under regular use.
UL is a private organization founded in 1894 by the insurance industry to develop and maintain guidelines for underwriters; hence the name Underwriters Laboratories. |
