1. UL requires you to use a recognized label component system.

We offer UL recognized systems - tested by UL under file #MH29620. A UL recognized component is linked to the finished product. The label itself must be a recognized component.

Clearing the UL Confusion

Underwriters Laboratories Inc.® (UL) certification and recognition are often confusing and misinterpreted.

UL® Examines, Tests and Reviews Specific Products.
Confusion begins when the materials used in a product are looked upon as products in themselves. As an example, what if you needed to design or order a new control panel overlay for an electrical device that was to be made of the polycarbonate Lexan®. Is the control panel certified because it is comprised almost entirely of the UL certified material Lexan®?

UL® Is About Products and Their Use.
To answer the question above, if the overlay is being used in conditions that the Lexan® is certified for, then the overlay could be identified as being made from UL® approved materials. The overlay would not be certified, the overlay would have to be submitted to testing.

The UL® Certified Mark
Only those products with the UL® Mark should be Listed and covered by UL's® Follow-up Service. Always look for the Mark on the product.

UL® Recognition.
UL investigates product equipment for the Listing/Classification. Their investigation includes an evaluation of suitability of components, relays, and switches, for use in the specific end product. The acceptability of the Component requires compatibility with the end-product application.
