Smart Appliances

Your organization's security is only as strong as your greatest vulnerabilities. As more smart features, communications protocols and connections are added to connected systems, risks and complexities increase. UL Solutions IoT Security Ratings, based on emerging industry consensus, set benchmarks for baseline security. Our team can evaluate your appliances against these benchmarks to differentiate your product in the marketplace or to meet specific minimum cybersecurity requirements.

In the world of connected devices, user experience plays a key role for success. Questions like "Does the control app really do what it is expected to do, regardless of the hardware and operating system it runs?" are of the utmost importance. UL Solutions can help test your control app on up to 1,000 different hardware and software platforms demonstrate expected functionality and a positive user experience.

We can help you navigate the EMC requirements that are mandatory in many countries for new products. Our team of experts have the resources to conduct pre-compliance tests that may help you detect and resolve potential flaws early in the design process. These pretests can help improve your compliance success rate and potentially reducing the time and costs associated with redesign necessitated by compliance failures at a later stage.

As more systems with smart appliances incorporate wireless technologies such as Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi, Li-Fi and cellular connectivity, testing that assesses the real-life performance and functionality of products has become more complex. We can help you stay ahead of continually evolving regulations to keep pace with rapid advances in technology.

We are an approved testing laboratory for many IoT and wireless standards— such as Bluetooth SIG, Matter, Thread Group and Zigbee. Connect with us to discuss your project, and how you can bundle these safety and performance testing of your smart appliances.
