标准为何重要?

标准之所以重要,是因为它们为创新提供了一个安全的基础,有助于解决和降低伤害风险,同时指导新技术和不断发展的技术的安全、性能和可持续性。 

标准为消费者提供安全的产品,并确保产品按照严格的安全要求进行评估。当产品符合 UL 标准时,购买者就可以放心,该产品已经过测试,能够承受苛刻的正常使用条件,不会带来危险或伤害。 

此外,一些标准有助于确保许多产品和系统的互操作性。例如,标准要求电源插座的大小必须一致,以适应特定国家或地区使用的插头类型。

一些 UL 标准已成为强制性标准。例如 UL 325,我们的自动车库门标准该标准包括对固有反向系统和电眼或边缘传感器的要求,以保护人和宠物不被卷入关闭的门下。国际建筑规范》、《国际住宅规范》、《国际消防规范》、《国家电气规范》和《加拿大电气规范》均参照了这一标准。自 1991 年起,美国消费品安全委员会的联邦法律(16 CFR Part 1211)也要求采用该标准。

In 2016, UL 2272, the Standard for Electrical Systems for Personal E-Mobility Devices, became mandatory when the CPSC announced that it would recall any self-balancing scooters that did not comply with the standard. The agency noted in its announcement that units that do not meet the standard pose an unreasonable risk of fire to consumers.
