UL-recognized media streamlines compliance labeling, certification process
Alternating Power. Neon lights. Switchboards. Two-phase Induction motors. These are just a few of the new technologies that were shown together for the first time at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair in the "Palace of Electricity," the first building devoted solely to electrical exhibits.
William Henry Merrill, a little-known, 25-year-old electrical engineer from Boston, was not just dazzled by the depth and breadth of what he saw; he also recognized the need for testing and certifying the safety of electrical products. So he stayed in Chicago and in 1894 opened the Underwriters' Electrical Bureau, which became Underwriters Laboratories (UL), the leader in product safety testing and certification in the U.S.
Today, UL's staff of more than 6,000 manages 876 standards across 18,850 types of products. In all, 19 billion UL marks have appeared on products.
