UL Water Product Certification

Why UL is your best choice

Choosing to work with UL communicates to your customers your commitment to the highest levels of quality and safety. Below are a few of the reasons why manufacturers worldwide rely on UL for certification of their products.

UL Brand Value

Independent research demonstrates that UL Marks leverage your product in the marketplace:

  • The UL Mark is one of the most widely used, recognized and trusted safety symbols in the world
  • UL is by far the leader in safety standards compliance matters among U.S. regulatory authorities, retailers, buyers and consumers
  • UL is cited as an assurance of safety more than all other certifiers and raters (CSA, ETL, Good Housekeeping Seal, Consumer Reports, etc.)
  • The UL Mark is consumers' greatest assurance of safety and quality when purchasing products. Safety marks influence purchase behavior, and the UL Mark is the preferred choice
  • UL research consistently indicates that consumer awareness of other organizations' product testing and conformity certification to the U.S. marketplace is essentially nonexistent¹
  • Regulators are seven times more likely to immediately accept the UL Mark without further steps or information²
