What’s New
Leadership Expertise in This Region
“Changing from current fossil fuel energy sources to methods like solar energy and storage systems is causing a lot of unexpected consequences. Yet a lot of countries and organizations tend to focus more on the positives instead of the hazard. That’s why we see the opportunity for ULSE, especially through our standards, to be able to provide guidance in Asia.”

Memoranda of Understanding in ASEAN
We collaborate with national, regional, and international standards development organizations, industry representatives, academia, and other stakeholders from across the globe to develop and harmonize standards for safety, security, and sustainability.
We sign memoranda of understanding to formalize partnerships and outline how we will share knowledge and support one another’s work. Each partnership is structured to promote communication, foster ongoing collaboration, and facilitate the participation of stakeholders while developing and harmonizing safety standards.
Work With Us
Thorough, comprehensive standards are made possible by diverse voices and deep collaboration. Take part in the process by reviewing options for participation to inform the next generation of standards.
Technical Committees
Each TC is a diverse group of experts representing a broad range of perspectives and interests, including consumers, manufacturers, regulators, supply chain professionals, and more.
As a TC member, you will review proposals for new or revised standards and work collaboratively to achieve consensus through balloting in our transparent process.
Stakeholders
Stakeholders can submit, review, and comment on proposals for new standards or revisions to existing standards. While these individuals cannot vote, the TC considers their input during the standards voting process. Since standards affect everyone, all are welcome to participate as stakeholders.
