To facilitate access to the European market, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), specializing in product testing, and certification services launches European brand, the UL-EU. With it, manufacturers can reduce the number of certification marks that appear in each of their products. The new brand can be combined with the listed brand of United States and Canada. Thus, UL-EU becomes the first transcontinental brand of UL available to manufacturers.
There are several benefits to manufacturers who get the UL-EU mark in combination with UL for the United States and Canada listed brands. Perhaps the most significant is achieving greater efficiency in certification to submit product only once to the process of certification and safety testing, and receive authorization to apply the combined certification mark, proving that the product complies with the rules of the market. For consumers, the new us-UL mark means that they can look for the UL mark to acquire products, knowing that they have been tested and certified within the highest global standards of safety which is recognized by UL.
