Canadian Certified products have a new UL Certification Mark

UL made changes to their certification sticker/logo where now they do not list cULus as they have in the past, it is now just referenced as UL. They are now utilizing a UL Smart and Enhanced Mark on Certified Products.

Why this requirement is important

The presence of the UL Certification Mark is the product manufacturer’s representation that a product meets all applicable requirements at the time it was shipped from the factory. A UL Certified product that does not display a proper UL Mark may be rejected by regulatory authorities, customs, and/or other entities that rely on the UL Certification Mark for product acceptance and confidence.

Scope

The UL Smart and Enhanced Certification Mark may be used on products that are Performance Verified by UL, and on products that are eligible for UL Listing and Classification. Products certified as Recognized Components are not included under the UL Smart and Enhanced Mark option.

Requirements

General:

The Smart and Enhanced UL Certification Mark and UL Badge system is designed to deliver clarity and acceptance in the market. The Mark and Badge system anticipates the changing marketplace needs and evolving nature of product safety. General information regarding UL Smart and Enhanced Marks and UL Badge can be reviewed at: markshub.ul.com.

UL Smart and Enhanced Marks may be used on products in lieu of the UL Listed and UL Classified Marks, typically those that consist primarily of the “UL” in a circle and the word “Listed” or “Classified.”

Use of the UL Smart and Enhanced Mark is optional. A manufacturer may continue to utilize the UL Listed or UL Classified Mark. The UL Listed or UL Classified Mark, described in a manufacturer’s UL Follow-up Services procedure, may be used indefinitely. However, manufacturers are encouraged to transition to UL Smart and Enhanced Marks when they find value in transitioning to the UL Smart and Enhanced Mark. If a UL Smart and Enhanced Mark is desired, the composition of the UL Listed or UL Classified Mark described on the Listing/Classification Mark Data Page is no longer applicable, but still could be used, therefore no procedure revision will be made even if the UL Smart and Enhanced Mark is used.

UL File Numbers are always required to be included with UL Smart and Enhanced Marks. For custom labels the UL File Number will appear in a module of the UL Smart and Enhanced Mark. For standard labels, the UL File Number will not be part of the UL Smart and Enhanced Mark, however, the UL File Number will be located on the nameplate near the UL Smart and Enhanced Mark in addition to any other required ancillary information.

Control numbers, which may be specified in the UL Follow-up Services procedure, will generally not be used for UL Smart and Enhanced Marks. If a UL Listed or UL Classified Mark is used, the control number specified in the Follow-up Services procedure may be used, or at the customer’s discretion, be replaced with the Listee’s file number. One exception is for Multiple Listed
