(UL: Warrington, UK) -- Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), a provider of product safety testing and certification services, recently announced that UL International (UK) Ltd., a notified body to the construction products directive, has signed an agreement with SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden. The agreement with SP allows UL UK and UL’s family of companies to expand its European testing capabilities and bolsters both its CE marking services and global market access.
The alliance with SP expands UL’s current capabilities to test and certify to a wider range of European standards. Specifically, UL UK, as a notified body to the construction products directive, will utilize SP’s test facilities for testing to a variety of EN and ETAG standards in the areas of fire resistance, and fire alarm and detection covered within UL UK’s scope of services.
Following successful testing, as part of the attestation process, UL UK can issue the CE certificate of compliance, needed by manufacturers for their products to bear the CE marking.
