Agency Certifications

This is one of the most common Underwriters Laboratories marks. If a product carries this mark, it means UL found that samples of this product met its safety requirements. These requirements are primarily based on UL’s own published Standards for Safety.

Consumers rarely see this mark, because it is for components that are part of a larger product or system. These components may have restrictions on their performance or may be incomplete in construction. The Component Recognition marking is found on a wide range of products, including some switches, power supplies, printed wiring boards, some kinds of industrial control equipment and thousands of other products.

The UL Recognized Component Mark, for components certified by UL to meet both Canadian and U.S. requirements, became effective in 1998. Although UL had not originally planned to introduce a combined Recognized Component Mark, the popularity of the Canada/U.S. Listing and Classification Marks among clients with UL certifications for both countries has led to the new mark.

This is one of the most common Canadian Standards Association (CSA) marks. If a product carries this mark, it means CSA found that samples of this product met its safety requirements. These requirements are primarily based on CSA’s own published Standards for Safety.
