What is UL certification?

The Underwriter Laboratories Inc. (short UL) is an independent institute founded in Northbrook / USA in 1894. Similar to the German TÜV it tests all kinds of goods which will be imported to the USA or manufactured in the USA – for example for the safety of use. This happens out of public interest and for reasons of consumers’ protection. As soon as a product or device will be given for certification to the UL, all the parts of the device will be examined – e.g. type plates as well. Further services of the UL include examination, consulting, monitoring, analytics and certification of labeling products.

Which requirements do the UL-labels have to meet?

The UL specification 969 “Standard for marking and labeling systems” defines the requirements for the marking- and labeling systems equipped with adhesives, printed labels, plates, and user manuals.

The UL 969 regulates the requirements and testing methods of the consistency of the label material, the printing process and the temperature resistance of a label. Further regulations include the adhesive power on different surfaces, the possibility of thermal transfer printing as well as the overall construction of a label. UL adheres labels onto characteristic test surfaces and exposes labels to typical workload to win information about resilience and legibility.

Especially the legibility of the imprint is important, because often there is safety-relevant information on labels and type plates. When they meet the criteria, the products get the respective certification or approval.
