UL Certification for Cablotech: A milestone in quality and safety
Cablotech has recently achieved the important UL certification, marking a significant milestone for the company. This accomplishment underscores Cablotech’s ongoing commitment to quality and safety in its products.
Cablotech’s UL Certification
What is UL Certification?
The UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification is a quality mark that represents a global benchmark for product safety. The independent UL organization subjects products to stringent tests to assess their suitability in terms of fire risks, electrical shocks, and mechanical hazards.
There are various UL marks, including UL Listing, UL Recognised Component, UL Classification Mark, and UL Functional Safety, each with specific applications based on the product type.
Notably, the UL Recognised Component mark, which Cablotech has obtained, is specific to components and unfinished products that are part of a larger system. This mark indicates that UL has tested representative samples of the product, certifying the manufacturer’s ongoing compliance with applicable safety standards in the USA and Canada.
Benefits of UL Certification
Obtaining UL certification offers numerous advantages for companies. Key benefits include:
- Increased Consumer Trust: Being a globally recognized mark, UL certification fosters consumer confidence in the product and the company.
- Market Differentiation: The UL certification sets the company apart from competitors, showcasing a concrete commitment to safety and quality.
- Access to New Markets: Compliance with UL standards facilitates entry into the North American market and other international markets, thanks to the certification’s recognition.
- Added Product Value: The UL mark enhances the product’s value, making it more competitive and appreciated in the market.
How to obtain the UL Certification
The process of obtaining UL certification is rigorous and requires significant commitment from the company. The process begins with gathering all necessary technical documentation, including manuals, safety data sheets, and lists of materials and components. Next, the relevant regulatory framework for the product to be certified is identified. UL then proceeds with a preliminary analysis to verify the product’s compliance with the required standards. Once comprehensive tests are passed, the company obtains UL certification, which will be subject to periodic unannounced checks to ensure the maintenance of requirements over time.

Cablotech team on the UL journey
Alberto Menni from Cablotech’s Technical Office explains, “The UL certification process was initiated in response to a specific customer request for UL-approved cabling. This process involved rigorous verification of our adherence to the customer’s specifications. As a result, we were assigned a unique ‘UL file number,’ and the cabling for the project will be identified with a specific label bearing the UL Recognised Component mark.
Periodic and unannounced inspections by an external certifier will be conducted to confirm the ongoing alignment between customer specifications and the materials used in the cabling production.”
Erika Guerra from the Commercial Office adds, “At Cablotech, we turn customer requests into opportunities for growth and improvement. Obtaining UL certification is a concrete example of how we meet market needs. We are implementing the changes that the certification entails in various aspects of daily management. Our goal is to always align with the highest quality standards, confirming our compliance during each periodic inspector’s visit.”

The UL certification obtained by Cablotech represents not only an important recognition but also a continuous commitment to quality and safety. This achievement further strengthens Cablotech’s position as a reliable partner for the most demanding customers, while opening new growth prospects in international markets. With UL certification, Cablotech confirms its dedication to innovation and continuous improvement, ensuring high-quality products that meet the strictest international standards.
