Launching a new factory is a high-stakes endeavor. There are a myriad of risks to mitigate across every stage: initial factory development stages (including planning your facility and construction), equipping your factory and starting initial production lines, or Limited Production Certification (LPC).
Manufacturers must navigate complex local regulations and approval processes for their equipment and systems, as failing to manage these regulatory requirements proactively can significantly delay project timelines and drive up costs. UL Solutions factory commissioning services help you streamline this process. With decades of global experience, our experts help manufacturers align their factory setup with critical safety and performance standards — enabling them to develop operations that are compliant, reliable and ready to launch or scale.
Will your factory be code-ready for startup?
Before operations begin, a factory must meet all regulatory and safety requirements, from verifying equipment safety to satisfying code authority criteria for code-based installations. For manufacturers in industries such as pharmaceuticals, electric vehicle (EV) batteries, semiconductors and food production, delays in this phase can drive up costs across the supply chain.
UL Solutions helps companies reduce potential factory startup delays with a comprehensive commissioning support approach that includes:
Conduct early and upfront comprehensive review of applicable standards to understand city, county, state and federal regulations
Third-party validation of supply chain and equipment safety
Identification of equipment or installation gaps that could hinder code authority approvals
Demonstration of equipment safety and supporting approvals with code authorities
