RETAILERS AND SPECIFIERS

As a retailer, what does the ULC/UL Mark mean to me?

The ULC/UL Mark is one of the most recognized, accepted and trusted symbols in the world. It means that Underwriters Laboratories Canada / Underwriters Laboratories Inc. has tested samples of products to safety requirements and conducts periodic checks of manufacturers' facilities. It says something about the products you carry; it says that you care about your customers' safety.
