The following is from a UL-O-GRAM...
UL offers comprehensive Canadian and U.S. Certification Services to Clients.
UL has been providing the most extensive and accepted safety testing and certification
services in the United States for just about 100 years...services that yield a product
marking that is know as the "American mark of Safety".
For several years, UL has been laying the groundwork and implementing initiatives to help
clients meet their safety testing and certification needs in Canada.
The Broadest NRTL Coverage Available
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has recognized as a nationally
recognized testing laboratory for decades. UL's programs have represented the very
definition of a nationally recognized testing laboratory over this period. UL's OSHA
recognition encompasses the most extensive range of product categories (relating to nearly
600 product Standards) for testing and investigation at all four UL locations in the
United States and subsidiary locations throughout the world. This represents the broadest
"NRTL" coverage by far. In addition, in October 1992, the Standards Council of
Canada (SCC) granted UL Canadian Certification Organization (CO) and Testing Organization
(TO) status, which accredits UL to conduct tests and issue certifications to Canadian
National Standards. This means that UL can authorize manufacturers to label their products
with a UL Mark for Canada.
Today, UL will provide all certification services that are needed for its manufacturing
customers to gain product acceptance and do business in both Canada and the United States.
Because you are a UL client, you may already be well on your way to receiving product
safety certifications from Canada. UL Clients can take advantage of their existing
certifications to receive product certifications for Canada quickly and efficiently. Our
experienced staff would welcome the opportunity to provide you with the certification
services you need for Canada.
UL will manage the Canadian certification process for you. Just contact the UL engineer
with whom you normally work or a UL client advisor at one of our addresses.
Sincerely,
Tom Castino
President and Chief Executive Officer
For
your reference, the UL mark that shows a product has been both tested and approved by UL
for the Canadian market is the cUL mark.
