FAQs

How are ULC Standards developed?

Our standards contain the technical requirements for product evaluation. We're responsible for nearly 200 formal Canadian standards, developed by balanced committees representing groups most involved with a particular standard, such as inspection authorities, manufacturers, consumers, users and testing labs.

Do I need to buy the whole ULC Standard, or can I buy just the revision?

ULC standards have a 3-5 year cycle.  During that period amendments may be issued.  When the amendment is issued you will need to obtain a copy of the revised standard including the amendment.  Notices of amendments are provided on the ULC website.  Contact us for more information.

Which ULC Standard applies to my product?

To determine which Standard applies, it's helpful to obtain our Catalogue of Standards, which lists them and provides prices and ordering information.

Are there other organizations authorized to test to ULC Safety Standards?

The ULC and UL's family of companies maintains a number of agreements, called Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs), with product testing and certification organizations in international markets. The MOU is a mechanism for the two participating agencies to work toward mutual recognition of each other's testing results for one or more specific product categories.

Our cooperative arrangements are structured in a way that permits us to help our customers obtain the marks of many countries in addition to Canadian ones.
