Underwriters Laboratories® Inc. (UL) is an independent
product safety certification organization. Based in Northbrook,
Illinois, UL develops standards and test procedures for products,
materials, components, assemblies, tools and equipment, chiefly dealing
with product safety. UL also evaluates and certifies the efficiency of a
company’s business processes through its management system registration
programs. UL is one of several companies
approved for such testing by the U.S. federal agency OSHA.
In the past 20 years, great strides have been made in harmonizing
international safety standards. For example, manufacturers can obtain
certification to both U.S. and Canadian national standards
(ULC). Our units accomplished this, where
noted.
The Appliance Efficiency Program is an active component of the
California Energy Commission's Efficiency Division. Regulated by the
Residential Buildings and Appliances Unit, the program is codified by

Regulations, better known as the Appliance Efficiency Regulations. A
Database of Energy Efficient Appliances is also maintained under the
program.
