Would you like to know where you stand before you formally submit for certification? Still in the design and prototype stage? Are you trying to determine which essential requirements and annexes of the directive need to be addressed?

If the answer is “yes” our preliminary compliance review program is for you!

The Preliminary Compliance Review consists of a technical review of your device against any standard: UL, CSA, IEC, ISO, etc. The review can take place at an UL office in Latin America or at your facility.

This program can be extremely useful to clients who:

• are not familiar with the different safety certification schemes and UL’s component requirements;
• the application of a device directive for your Declaration of Conformity needed for CE marking; or
• technical development staff which need further understanding of a technical standard they are required to design a product against.

At the end of the review, a technical report in the form of a letter report will be provided to you. This report will be used as a “guide” for the formal evaluation. No unexpected issues will be found after the mould has been set or the components selected!

Typically, our engineering staff will discuss any of these requirements with your product development team or quality manager. The costs associated are dependent on the scope of the review and the time (in days) needed to address your requirements. Generally, a day with you and a day back at UL for the report creation are enough.
