Regulatory Marks – UL & CSA Certification Testing

Product Certification Overview

If you are selling your product in the US and Canada, you need to comply with the applicable nationally accepted UL & CSA standards.  F2 Labs can evaluate and test your product, help you through the certification process and enable you to certify your product to UL & CSA standards.

Certification Process

While the product itself will be evaluated and tested for conformance with the appropriate UL/CSA standards, the manufacturer must also be able to demonstrate a Quality Control system to assure that all future products will continue to conform. This process includes: an Initial Customer Application/Quality System Review, Initial Factory Inspection and ongoing Quarterly Inspections.

Steps to Product Certification

• Product Testing and Evaluation: A sample of your product and supporting documentation will be evaluated and tested to the applicable UL/CSA standard(s).
• Initial Factory Inspection: Just prior to issuing your first certification we will perform an Initial Factory Inspection. This is done only once.
• Annual Listing Fees: Annual Listing Fees can vary depending on the number of products categories and are per manufacturing facility.
• Quarterly Inspections: Quarterly inspections, or follow-up visits, will be performed at each manufacturing site. During these visits the inspector will review, among other things: production line tests, quality procedures and documentation, product revisions, required markings, etc.
• Fees for the above services: Fees per facility vary depending on the number of product categories being listed, and inspection fees are dependent upon location of the facility.
