Abstract

Councils

Advisory Councils of UL Solutions are an active and critical part of a broader system that advances our safety mission.

The real-world experience and diverse perspectives of council members enable us to identify and pursue new safety challenges arising from product and technology innovations, as well as transformations in how products and environments are constructed, operated and consumed. This advice and guidance inform our scientific research, key initiatives and safety solutions.

Council members are volunteers who are passionate about public safety. Council membership is comprised of distinguished experts from a wide range of government agencies, consumer groups, scientific and educational institutions and industry organizations. To be appointed as a member of a Council is recognition of expertise, integrity and a commitment to furthering public safety.
