Hazardous Locations Resources

SPARKS ... FLASHES ... LEAKAGE ... EXPLOSIONS ... BREAKDOWN OF EQUIPMENT ... ENDANGERED LIVES ...

These are all situations that you, as an inspector of hazardous Locations (HazLoc) equipment, and UL, as the leading third-party product safety certification organization in North America, strive to prevent from happening.

UL has a lengthy history of addressing safety issues concerning hazardous locations equipment. Our first certification for hazardous locations dates back more than 80 years, with the first hazardous locations-related UL Standard being published in 1930.

Today, our scope reaches from down the street to around the globe -- whatever your needs may be, UL is here to help.

The following links have been selected from the UL Hazardous Locations Equipment Page with AHJ's in mind, as these specific topics contain pertinent background information.
