Code authorities

Underwriters Laboratories® is proud to join with code authorities to ensure that the equipment installations they authorize will be safe for community use. UL's support enables authorities to safeguard the public trust. Whether an inspector, fire marshal, or other government employee responsible for field validation of installations, code authorities provide an important assurance of public safety, backed by the engineering expertise of UL through use of UL Marks and certification.

Regulatory Services department staff are dedicated to providing code authorities with technical support services in order to help them achieve safe, code compliant installations for the citizens in their communities. Our staff have technical expertise in a wide range of North American model codes and regulations, covering areas that include building, electrical, fire, environmental, mechanical, plumbing, and public health. The expert service we provide is unmatched by any other certification organization.
