Advisory services
Engineering and technical services
As manufacturers focus on product development and production and distribution, many require additional support to address technical challenges and comply with market-specific regulations. UL provides a broad range of services that support every stage of the product life cycle -- from engineering new products to accessing global markets. UL's technical and market knowledge helps manufacturers accelerate product development and respond to changing global conditions.
UL applies its unsurpassed knowledge of components, products, safety requirements, and manufacturing and quality processes to develop custom solutions in the following areas:
- Engineering support services -- UL draws on a talented pool of specialists to provide supplemental engineering support, specific value-added engineering services, or technical expertise to troubleshoot product performance issues. These services help manufacturers respond to short-term staffing challenges, meet aggressive product launch deadlines, address product performance issues, and conform to existing and newly released standards.
- Global market access advisory services -- UL helps companies expand into new global markets by researching standards, codes and other market requirements; consolidating tests to help manufacturers meet these requirements cost-effectively; and securing the necessary non-UL Marks different markets require. This support accelerates the approval process and helps position products for success. UL performs similar services that help governments stimulate growth in exports.
