1.CE marking was introduced by the European Commission and it is the Commission who also set the conditions for use of the CE mark within the different CE mark directives. With the CE marking, the manufacturer or his representative within the EU declare that the individual product is in compliance with the general safety regulations in the CE marking directives. Manufacturers outside the EU can appoint European authorised representatives in the EU.
2.The UL Listing Mark stands for tested and evaluated representative samples of the complete product to recognised US safety standards. These are primarily based on our own published Standards for Safety.
3.The products with this type of mark have been evaluated to Canadian safety requirements. You will see this type of mark on appliances and computer equipment, vending machines, household burglar alarm systems, lighting fixtures and many other types of products
4.The products with this type of mark have been evaluated to Canadian safety requirements. You will see this type of mark on appliances and computer equipment, vending machines, household burglar alarm systems, lighting fixtures and many other types of products

6.The products with this type of mark have been evaluated to Canadian safety requirements. You will see this type of mark on appliances and computer equipment, vending machines, household burglar alarm systems, lighting fixtures and many other types of products.
7.Products carrying this mark have been evaluated for specific properties, a limited range of hazards, or suitability for use under limited or special conditions. Typically, products classified by UL fall into the general categories of building materials and industrial equipment.
8.The UL Recognised Component Mark may be used on component parts that are part of a larger product or system. It is certified by UL to both Canadian and US requirements. These components may have restrictions on their performance or may be incomplete in construction.
9.The UL GS Mark is a voluntary mark. It can be used on products such as household appliances, laboratory equipment, luminaries and IT/AV equipment. Products are evaluated according to the German Equipment and Product Safety Act (GPSG). The evaluation is based on harmonised European standards for the safety testing, some product may require additional testing according to other standards e.g ergonomic testing. The validity of the certificate is maximum 5 years.
10.The RoHS (Restriction of use of Hazardous Substances) legislation covers the restriction of lead and other potentially hazardous substances used in electrical and electronic equipment. Known as Directive 2002/95/EC, it is enforced throughout the EU since 1st July 2006. Its purpose is very clear – to restrict the use of six substances within electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), thereby contributing to the protection of human health and the environment. For many this is a considerable environmental challenge.
11.The CCC (China Compulsory Certification) Mark is a mandatory safety and quality mark for products sold in the Chinese market. It is required for products in 19 groups, divided into 132 product categories in total. UL-CCIC, UL's joint venture in China with CCIC (China National Import and Export Commodities Inspection Corporation), has been approved by the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China (CNCA) as a registered CCC agent to assist domestic and overseas clients with CCC certification applications.
12.ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world's largest developer and publisher of International Standards.
ISO is a network of the national standards institutes of 157 countries, one member per country, with a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, that coordinates the system.
ISO is a non-governmental organization that forms a bridge between the public and private sectors. On the one hand, many of its member institutes are part of the governmental structure of their countries, or are mandated by their government. On the other hand, other members have their roots uniquely in the private sector, having been set up by national partnerships of industry associations.
13.The European CCA (CENELEC Certification Agreement) is one of the oldest and most successful mutual Recognition Agreements in Europe. It allows European Electrical products to receive national certification marks on the basis of a Notification of Test Results issued by a Certification Body in any of the member countries. The agreement is valid only for those products for which standards is part of the Agreement. The agreement covers most of the European Standards.
The products fall into the following categories: household appliances, switches for household appliances, lighting fittings, measurement instruments, IT equipment and consumers electronics etc. The scope of the mark will be extended in the future to other products when new standards come into force.
The prerequisite for being allowed to apply for certification is that the applicant is resident in the CCA member country. There is a requirement for a subsequent factory inspection under the CCA Agreement. Therefore, a CCA Certificate can only be issued if an initial factory inspection has been conducted. UL International Demko A/S is a leading signatory to the CCA agreement.
As of April 2003, the European manufacturers and Certification Bodies, with the support of the consumers´ associations, decided to extend the benefits of the CCA to products manufactured by European companies on non-European locations
14.EMC is the globally accepted acronym for \"Electromagnetic Compatibility.\" EMC refers not only to the electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by a product but also to a product's level of resistance or immunity to external sources of EMI sharing the same environment. When products are able to operate properly and harmoniously within a shared electromagnetic environment, they are considered \"compatible.\" UL was instrumental in creating the International \"emc-Mark\" with other testing organisations. The international \"emc-Mark\" was designed to offer manufacturers a cost-effective and time saving option to illustrate compliance with the EU EMC Directive, U.S. FCC or Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements, the Voluntary Control Council for Interference (VCCI) in Japan, and the Australia Telecommunications Authority (AUSTEL).
