Today, specifiers, purchasers and various stakeholders along the supply chain of the wire and cable industry are more informed and connected, driving new levels of skepticism regarding the unsubstantiated performance claims of manufacturers and their products. UL helps brands and manufacturers confidently stand out from the crowd with trusted, independent confirmation of their marketing claims related to the performance, functionality or features of products, facilities, processes and systems.
The UL marketing claim Verification program pairs your innovation and product excellence with the trusted science-based processes of UL to set your product apart in the market.
The following companies are using the UL Verification Mark to differentiate their products from the competition and demonstrate to their customers that their marketing claims have been rigorously and objectively evaluated for accuracy:
