UL employs an exacting testing process driven bymore than a century of trusted technical knowledge.
Our experts partner with you to help ensure that
products meet proprietary specifications as well as theexpectations of retailers and consumers.
We can conduct standardized testing, or we can custom
tailor testing to meet your needs in order to assess:• Performance• Reliability• Quality• R&D needs

Electrical Testing
Learn the limits of your products in certain environments;
help ensure they meet stringent regulatory requirements
and standards; and address market demand for quality,reliability and performance.

Environmental Testing
When designing a product, it is difficult to determine
how that product may perform in the real world. UL’s
environmental testing measures product performance
under specific environmental conditions, such as
humidity or extreme temperatures. The electricalperformance and reliability of products under set
conditions is measured, and we provide a reportof the findings to help you reduce your own costs
for maintaining the required laboratory space andequipment.

Chemical Testing
Gain comprehensive guidancefrom UL—whether testing raw
materials and substantiatinglabel claims or implementing atesting program across a supply
chain. Testing includes chemical
inventory and material safety
data sheets (MSDS) as well as identification of high-riskmaterials.

Mechanical Testing
Determine whether your product’s mechanical strength
will function as intended for a given period of time undera particular set of conditions. Tests include vibration,shock, freefall drop, compression, and impact hammer
assessments.

LABORATORY EQUIPMENT CALIBRATION
It is important for manufacturers to have confidence
in the accuracy of inspection, measuring and test
results. Using calibrated Inspection, Measuring, and Test
Equipment (IMTE) is critical in the system of controls used
to produce quality products and trusted results.
UL’s position as the trusted leader in product testingallows us to provide the guidance and expertise necessary
to ensure your equipment is accurately calibrated tonational traceable standards.
• Temperature andhumidity• AC/DC voltage• AC/DC current• Wattage meter• Resistance• Time• Dimension• Weight• Pressure

LABORATORY EQUIPMENT AUTOMATION,
DEVELOPMENT AND LEASING
Work with UL experts to develop a project management
plan for the necessary design, fabrication, programming,installation, set-up and operation of laboratory equipment.
Or consider an equipment lease to gain access to specialty
