Consolidation case studies
UL Solutions has the capability to support your investment in product evaluation by consolidating processes that efficiently expand the scope of market access. Instead of engaging different service providers for different regions, UL Solutions can offer you a program of activities to manage your product portfolio.
Case study one — ANZ and Europe
A range of BS, EN and ISO product Standards adopted in Europe are aligned with Australian and New Zealand standards adopted in the ANZ region. UL Solutions can support market access by consolidating test programs for new products to meet multiple standards or leveraging existing data and reducing supplementary testing requirements. The UL-AU Mark also provides flexibility to adopt established European production surveillance approaches, further limiting duplication or additional activities to maintain multiple certifications.
UL Solutions can offer the UL-EU Mark and UKCA marking. Our data acceptance agreement with European certification body VdS also supports a faster route to market.
Case study two — UL and UL-AU
For product manufacturers seeking to access the ANZ market and market entry to North America, UL Solutions can develop certification plans that address the local AS and AS/NZS standards as well as UL or ULC Standards. Certification can be offered for multiple markets accepting the North American approach to production surveillance to meet expected requirements limiting duplication or additional activities impacting cost. Furthermore, achieving the UL Mark for North America also opens access to other regional markets that accept this certification, such as the Middle East, Asia and South America.
One mark — multiple regions
UL-AU Mark certified products are complemented by product certificates nominating conformity details and listing on UL Product iQ®, our global online certification database. The UL-AU Smart Mark applied to a certified product provides a transparent digital path between physical products and conformity information to support ready decision-making by all stakeholders. Smart Mark technology allows UL Solutions to link multiple product certifications to individual products.
- Testing is part of a more thorough certification process.
- Independent review and certification decision considers factory auditing.
- Unique product mark links physical product digitally to online certified product directory and conformity details.
- Ongoing production surveillance is undertaken to maintain certification status.
