UL Test Report and Introduction to UL Certification

What is the Difference Between an Amazon UL Test Report and UL certification?

1. UL Test Report: This report is issued after a product is tested according to the corresponding UL standards and meets the required criteria. (The UL test report is specifically for Amazon.)

2. UL Certification: UL certification is a voluntary application and is globally recognized. Obtaining UL certification can enhance the product’s credibility and quality. UL certification is divided into two categories: R-type and L-type.

However, obtaining UL certification is challenging. It requires four audits per year (spring, summer, autumn, and winter), has high costs, takes a long time, and imposes strict requirements on factories.

3. A UL Test Report is issued after a product is tested according to the applicable UL standards and meets the requirements.

4. UL Certification requires both product testing and factory audits. Factories are audited quarterly, making the process expensive and time-consuming.
