Smart Water Services

UL Solutions services for connected water products and smart water systems

Advancements in technology have increased the manufacturing of smart water products and systems, which have become integral parts of connected homes, workplaces and cities. UL Solutions can help you demonstrate the safety performance of these products.

Water product manufacturers must innovate to remain competitive while also navigating new challenges and historic risks, including safety, health effects, interoperability and performance. Connected devices such as smart meters, leak detectors, faucets, irrigation and water filtration systems must also guard against the threat of cybersecurity breaches from bad actors, which present new levels of risk for both the water system owners and product manufacturers.

Leverage our expertise with connected technology to help you address these concerns at the hardware, software and supply-chain level. Our experience with wireless connectivity, interoperability and cybersecurity requirements and standards complements our extensive knowledge of the water and plumbing industry to make UL Solutions your ideal partner when designing, producing and going to market with your connected products.

In today’s connected world, we help organizations understand and manage product cybersecurity risks and demonstrate their capabilities to the marketplace.
