What is UL?
UL stands for Underwriter Laboratories, a third-party certification company that’s been around for over a century. UL was founded in 1894 in Chicago. They certify products with the aim to make the world a safer place for both workers and consumers. Besides testing, they set industry standards to follow when innovating new products. Last year alone, about 14 billion products with the UL seal entered the global marketplace.
In a nutshell, UL is a safety organization that sets industry-wide standards on new products. They continually check these products to ensure they’re up to these standards. UL testing makes sure that wire sizes are correct or devices can handle the amount of current they claim to be able to. They also ensure that products are constructed correctly for the highest safety.
A common misconception is that UL tests every product themselves. This isn’t always the case. Instead, UL authorizes a manufacturer to test the product themselves using the UL stamp. They then follow up on a regular basis to make sure that they are testing their products and following proper guidelines. This is one of many reasons that UL certification is attractive to businesses.
So basically UL is the most authoritative certification on safety and quality tests in the U.S. So if the product is UL listed, it means the product is safe and good quality, with that people are willing to sell it and use it without concern. That's the logic.
Why is UL certification attractive for businesses? UL has spent over a century building up a reputation and instilling a sense of trust. When a consumer sees the UL stamp of approval on a product, they will likely feel better about purchasing it.
For example, if someone is shopping for a new circuit breaker or contactor, UL certification might sway their decision.
If two identical products or services are side-by-side and one is UL certified and one isn’t, which one would you likely choose? It’s been shown that the UL mark can be a powerful marketing tool for businesses, and so many of them strive to get their products approved. The UL logo gives the consumer peace of mind, and the business a public seal of approval.
When we pull back and look past the marketing aspect, it’s widely understood that machinery is the lifeblood of any business. Taking steps to protect this investment and the people that use it is essential to the long-term success of a company. Many industries have even started to design new products around UL’s safety standards.
How would the business and consumers benefit from importing UL listed products?
1.Smooth customs clearance: with UL certification, U.S customs release the cargo very soon, but without it, there might be long and dull inspections.
2.When there's a safety accident, CPSC will judge responsibility by if the product is UL certified too, which would help avoid necessary trouble and dispute so many dealers only sell products with UL certification.
3.With UL certification increase the will and confidence of end-users to buy this product and dealers to sell this product.
4.It helps to increase expand sales.
5.Resulting in sales easier and faster.
Ev charging business is not new but definitely, in the early phase of the new energy industry so many companies are looking into getting into this industry is new to the business, in these circumstances, UL would definitely help you.
