After joining the WTO, domestic enterprises are faced with more severe challenges and severe impacts brought by advanced foreign technology, scientific management and various regulations. Many countries, especially developed countries, have introduced many new technical trade measures, not only New requirements have been added in protecting personal safety and health, and there have been new developments in energy consumption and environmental protection measures. For electronic and electrical products exported to the EU, the CE certification mark must be affixed to the product or the outer packaging; products exported to North America must be affixed with UL, cUL or ETL, cETL certification marks, otherwise the product will be prohibited Regional circulation. In addition, the European Union has recently issued WEEE and RoHS directives, Japan and South Korea have also revised their "Electronic Appliance Safety Management Law". The United States, Russia and Australia, New Zealand and other countries also have specific laws and regulations on market access for electrical products. Technical measures. So how to prove that the product meets the requirements of these legal and technical measures? This requires testing by an independent third-party testing agency to show compliance with the relevant laws and regulations of the host country and obtain the corresponding product certification mark, which is what we usually see on the outer packaging of exported electronic and electrical products Different certification marks are printed, which shows that certification can regulate a country's import and export trade capacity.

After nearly a hundred years of development, UL has become a world-renowned certification body, which has its own set of strict organizational management systems, standard development and product certification procedures. UL is composed of a safety expert, government officials, consumers, education, public utilities, insurance industry and standards department representatives to form a council management, daily work is handled by the president and vice president.

1. Listed (Listed). Only used for complete products and various devices or devices that are replaced or installed by qualified personnel on site. Products that belong to the UL listing service include: IT equipment, AV equipment, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners and other electrical equipment. If the final product needs to be marked with the UL listing mark, the sample should be tested by UL to confirm that it has no hidden dangers of fire and electrical hazards.
2. Recognized. Recognition is mainly a safety certification implemented for components and materials. The components approved by the accreditation service will be assembled in the finished product, and the components must meet the relevant permit conditions before they can be applied to the corresponding finished product. Such as: switches, power supplies, printed plates, transformers, wires, plugs, plastic materials are all approved objects.
3. Classification.
