What is UL? Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) is a governing body that determines safety standards and specifications for products, industries, and services. Particularly items or situations that can pose a danger to humans. Getting UL approval is voluntary and usually determined by the manufacturer’s quality or research and development teams.
Included under UL’s umbrella are UL logo’d warning labels that must pass testing and protocol.
How do I get a UL approved label?
Decal construction must meet specific UL Standards if your product requires it. This is your supplier’s responsibility, along with their base-material supplier.
To maintain the UL approval status, there is an annual fee required by UL. This fee may increase the price of your graphic. Such approval usually comes about because your product demands it. UL approval does not necessarily mean the graphic is well suited to your application; it means the material has passed a series of UL tests. In other words, you can purchase a UL approved label that doesn’t work for your application. You can also purchase a non-approved UL construction that works perfectly fine. In fact, most of what we produce does not require UL approval.
There’s nothing wrong with UL approval. If your product requires it, and it means something to your consumer, by all means, do it. Just make sure your supplier goes through the proper application testing.
We manufacture UL approved decals. All we need are the specifications from you. UL visits Romo quarterly to check our quality and ensure we meet UL Standards on constructions that require it.
