“UL and UL UK are very proud to achieve this designation and are excited about what it means for our valued customers,” said Marco Crosignani, head of the Notified Body. “Our new service offerings will help expand our already-growing certification business in Europe while enhancing overall global market access for UL customers.”

As a CPD Notified Body, UL UK can test products to applicable European standards (ENs) and European Technical Approvals (ETAGs), utilizing UL’s network of state-of-the-art test facilities and issue a CE Certificate of conformity. The CE Certificate of conformity is mandatory for fire safety products and systems marketed in Europe to demonstrate compliance with relevant CPD requirements.

“Manufacturers who work with UL for UL Mark services and for their CPD testing and certification needs will gain both a competitive advantage and a strategic partner in UL.” said Chris Hasbrook, vice president and general manager, UL’s Global Building Materials and Life Safety & Security Industries. “UL’s combined services can save customers time and money while increasing their speed to market, with UL serving as a one-stop-shop for all their product compliance needs. UL is in a unique position of being able to offer CE marking services alongside the UL mark, providing economies of scale and consolidation of factory inspection processes.”

UL has more than 100 years of life safety and security experience and is a global leader in fire safety testing, certification and research. The company’s expert technical teams are knowledgeable in both UL and European Standards and operate facilities worldwide.
