Who is behind the Mark?

The UL Mark stands for Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization that was formed in 1894 to help reduce injury, loss of life and property damage. To that end, UL scientifically investigates and tests thousands of types of products, materials, constructions and systems to evaluate electric, fire and casualty hazards; burglar resistance; or ability to detect, control or limit fires. Behind the UL Mark is a staff of more than 5,000 engineers, scientists, chemists, technicians, field representatives and support staff -- a team dedicated to working for a safer world.

Why is the UL Mark so important?

Third-party product safety certification is important. An independent, technically expert organization that doesn't have a financial interest in the product's ultimate profitability is needed to determine whether reasonably foreseeable risks associated with the product's use have been eliminated or minimized. UL's not-for-profit, independent status allow it to be unbiased in determining whether or not a product meets recognized safety standards.

What happens after a product gets the UL Mark?

Once the product earns the UL Mark, UL doesn't forget about it. UL field representatives located worldwide make periodic, unannounced visits to each manufacturer's production facility to help countercheck that products continue to meet UL requirements. Even after the initial product evaluation, UL checks samples of the product again and again. A product must continue to meet safety requirements in order to bear the UL Mark. If a field representative determines that a product no longer complies, the UL Mark is removed. This Follow-Up Services program helps protect the integrity of the UL Mark. In fact, this rigorous follow-up program is part of what makes UL so unique.

UPC importance

UPC stands for Uniform Plumbing Code which is administered by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials since 1926.

Just how important is it that your salon equipment be UPC listed? In most cities in the USA, a Certificate of Occupancy is unobtainable without being UPC listed. Ask your local licensed plumber.
