Understanding the intricate regulations, ensuring your labels meet the necessary standards, and avoiding potential pitfalls can feel overwhelming. That\u2019s where CILS International comes in. As a manufacturer of UL-approved labels with a close relationship with UL, we\u2019re uniquely positioned to simplify this process for you, making UL compliance easier to understand and manage.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b data-olk-copy-source=\"MailCompose\">WHY CHOOSE CILS FOR YOUR UL LABELLING NEEDS?<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At CILS, we pride ourselves on being the label specialists\u2014pure and simple. Our extensive experience in the industry, coupled with our relationship with UL, means we\u2019re well-equipped to help you navigate the UL label compliance process smoothly and efficiently. The UL \u2018Type L\u2019 mark<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" class=\"wp-image-18390\" style=\"width: 32px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cils-storages.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ul-mark-1.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0is a globally recognised trademark, and its use is tightly controlled. Only companies listed under the PGAA classification on the UL directory are authorised to reproduce the \u2018Type L\u2019 (UL) mark, making it crucial to choose the right label supplier.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our deep understanding of the documentation required to maintain a proper audit trail ensures that you\u2019re always prepared for the compliance checks within the UL follow-up service.

Finished product labels must be durable, permanently affixed, and legible for the product&#8217;s lifetime. While UL does not mandate that these labels be made from UL-approved materials, it\u2019s essential to understand that if the UL mark becomes illegible or falls off, the product loses its UL approval. Durability is key.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b data-olk-copy-source=\"MailCompose\">GENERAL LABELLING OF YOUR UL-APPROVED PRODUCT.<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the product you manufacture carries a label that is important to the product, then it is considered a component part no matter where the label is positioned. The definition of important can be anything from a warning, instruction, model number, serial number to rating information etc. It is safe to say that if a UL approved product has labels on it, they most likely need to be made from labels tested and approved by UL. These labels may be printed with the \u2018Type R\u2019 UL logo.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"36\" height=\"22\" class=\"wp-image-18386\" style=\"width: 36px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cils-storages.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ul-mark-2.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b data-olk-copy-source=\"MailCompose\">SOURCING THE CORRECT UL LABEL\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sourcing the correct UL label is critical to avoid unnecessary delays and expenses. The process of seeking UL approval on a product is complex, with many factors to consider, including the often-overlooked labels. We can help guide you through the UL label compliance process quickly and efficiently, thanks to our experience and direct line of communication with UL labelling engineers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you need blank labels ready for secondary printing or fully printed UL labels, our extensive portfolio of durable label products and unique CILS 3.0<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> print technology ensures that we can meet all your specific UL labelling needs.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5>Where UL compliance is key, don\u2019t leave your labels to chance.
