What is UL certification?

UL certification is a product safety performance inspection and certification issued by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), a large private organization in the United States. UL specializes in safety testing and identification, using scientific testing methods to determine the hazard level of various materials, devices, products, equipment, and buildings to life and property.

What is the Purpose of UL Certification?

The UL certification mark has a history of over 100 years, especially in Western countries. Products with the UL certification mark are trusted more for their safety by the public. In the United States, both the public and the government recognize and use this as a safety certification standard. Although UL certification is not mandatory, it can make your products more marketable. This is particularly important for cross-border e-commerce products, such as electronics and electrical appliances.

 

Can Products with a UL Mark but Without a UL Report be Exported to the U.S.?

If products or packaging have a UL certification mark, a UL certification report is required. Without it, U.S. customs will detain the goods and they won't pass. Recently, U.S. customs have intensified their inspections for UL certification, which cross-border e-commerce companies need to pay attention to.
