Safety Compliance
Design Support

Your reliable guide to
obtaining the ULMark


UL’s historical figures indicate that 48 percent of all certification applications encounter some problems or non-compliance issues. 23 percent fail outright and require re-tests, leading to an average of 18.25 days of delays, 2.5 times of design rework and thousands of extra dollars spent.

So, why put up with the failure? Let’s take an analogy. Prior to taking a university exam, a student may take one or more mock exams to elevate his confidence and chance of success. In the same way, a UL client may take advantage of a design review to identify and address potential problems before undergoing the Full Investigation.

UL’s Safety Compliance Design Support (SCDS) helps clients incorporate safety compliance into their products. With advice and support from UL’s standards and testing professionals, customers can increase their chance of getting their application approved. Other benefits include:

Cost and time savings by doing it right the first time;
Greater understanding of UL standards and interpretations;
Increased safety confidence level for future similar projects; and
Increased technical knowledge through on-the-job training by UL professionals.
