Product categories requiring holographic UL Marks

UL holographic labels are required globally for decorative lighting strings, decorative outfits, seasonal and holiday decorative product accessories, and electric ornaments. For the remainder of the product categories below holographic labels are required only for products manufactured in China. Effective July 1, 2009 that will change and a new gold hologram label will be required globally on new production in these categories.

Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors are being moved into a new Surge Protective Devices category. Manufacturers may continue using their current marking method until their products have been moved into the new category. Once moved, the product identification as part of the Listing Mark must be changed to read, "Surge Protective Device" and the Listing Mark must be printed on UL gold hologram label material.

Manufacturers located in China must continue to use a hologram label (silver or gold) on their Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors. Once their products are moved into the new Surge Protective Devices category the product identification as part of the Listing Mark must be changed to read "Surge Protective Device" and the Listing Mark must be printed on UL gold hologram label material.

Manufacturers in the following Luminaire product categories will have until July 1, 2011 to convert to the new gold hologram label.

Manufacturers located in China must continue to use a hologram label (silver or gold) but must convert to the new gold hologram label by July 1, 2011.

UL will maintain new gold hologram standard labels for some products and these may be ordered directly from UL. Custom holographic labels must be purchased from UL's supplier of holographic labels. All new orders for custom holographic labels will be the new gold hologram. More information is available for ordering custom holographic labels.
