UL certification is a recognized safety certification mark in the United States and North America. Products with UL logo are equivalent to obtaining a safety and quality credit card, and their credibility has been accepted by consumers. Therefore, the UL mark has become a pass for electronic and electrical products to enter the United States and the North American market. UL has five laboratories in the United States and is headquartered in Northbrook, north of Chicago.
If the lighting products are sold to the US market, UL certification is required. The following are some summaries of Ancojet's testing and certification to share with you:
