Modular review services
Manufacturers with robust, new product pipelines or short product life cycles place a premium on speed to market. To avoid costly delays, UL is typically engaged early in the design process to identify potential safety and compliance problems in time to make necessary modifications. UL's complete portfolio of modular review services delivers expertise at every stage of the product life cycle--from concepts and prototypes to performance testing and ultimately disposal.
- Analyze preproduction drawings, prototypes and construction plans.
- Pre-scan preproduction prototypes for compliance with EMC standards.
- Review all materials used in product construction (bill-of-materials review).
- Identify risk issues related to restricted substances (construction and disposal).
- Determine that all product components are properly certified.
- Perform gap analysis to identify safety and compliance risks.
- Conduct performance tests to customer-defined protocols.
- Conduct confidence testing to existing standards.
- Train product and safety engineers on relevant standards and requirements.
Subjecting new products to modular reviews can improve time to market, reduce product development costs, build customer confidence, and mitigate financial and market risks.
