The UL-EU Mark: A new pan-European Mark for global certification recognition

Access to Europe, Canada and the United States with a single Mark


         

The global marketplace is changing fast, and consumers, building officials, members of the fire service and insurers more and more are looking for a well-recognized and valuable mark that gives them confidence in the safety of the products they're choosing. Trust in a manufacturer's safety claim is key, and going the extra step to earn a voluntary safety mark to accompany a CE Marking is evidence of a manufacturer's commitment to consumers.

Independent, meaningful and delivering value throughout the entire product distribution chain the UL-EU Mark differentiates both the manufacturers and their products that have earned it in a highly competitive landscape.  Manufacturers can now opt to add the UL-EU Mark in addition to or as a substitute for other voluntary marks to demonstrate their commitment to safety.  The UL-EU Mark indicates a product's compliance with EN safety standards, and products carrying it fall under UL's Follow-Up Services program to determine ongoing conformity with requirements.

Even better news, under UL's Global Market Access program, as the new combined UL Mark for Europe, Canada and the United States is the first transcontinental mark available in UL's portfolio of market-leading certification Marks.  UL is globally recognized as the most respected third-party product safety certification organization in North America, where it has gained the trust of manufacturers, retailers, consumers and regulatory authorities.
