To help ensure high-speed signal and data transmission integrity, products with high-speed wired connectivity interface have to pass through sophisticated signal integrity, electrical, mechanical, environmental and interoperability test requirements.
We offer compliance testing, performance verification and safety certification programs that focus on addressing the real needs of manufacturers, brand owners, installers, retailers, end users and other key stakeholders to differentiate their product, compete on a level playing field, and obtain the peace of mind needed to market, source, purchase and consume the products.
The safety testing and certification programs address the safety concerns of products that provide data transmission and power through the control of product materials/components, electrical design and performing testing in accordance with the pertinent industry performance specifications.
Performance evaluation and verification programs help validate that products are in compliance with industry specifications or proprietary customer requirements.
Address the growing concern of safety, performance and compliance
UL offers a comprehensive and customized testing platform to meet global testing and certification needs. Global computer, communication and consumer electronics (3C) brand owners, as well as Internet of Vehicle (IoV) developers benefit from a broad range of solutions that encompass safety, performance and compliance.
Some of the safety certification programs consist of a comprehensive factory inspection and market surveillance to help monitor ongoing compliance of products and ensure a healthy and ongoing compliant supply chain and fair competition in the marketplace.
