Special Inspection (SI) services
ULC's Special Inspection Services is intended to provide the means for evaluating products in the field and, if found in compliance with the requirements of the Model Code "SPE-1000", such products may be marked with the ULC Special Inspection (SI) label.
The Model Code contains requirements that address the minimum construction, marking, and test requirements that are consistent with maintaining the level of safety for electrical products so as not to present an undue hazard to the public or to property.
You may choose an SI for one or more of the following reasons:
• The equipment has already been shipped to, or installed in, the final destination
• Limited quantities or batches of equipment
• Ensuring the product complies with the essential requirements before submitting it for final certification.
• Time is critical and certification is not practical
Special Inspections of electrical products is not equivalent to product certification.
ULC is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) as a Third Party Inspection Body (IB) to the requirements of ISO 17020. As such our services are recognized by the provincial and territorial authorities in Canada.
