Initiatives As an accredited, globally influential standards development organization, we apply research and safety science to keep pace with new discoveries and technology. July 27, 2022 Standards Matter To ensure products, systems and services operate safely and effectively, we develop standards that address risks while guiding safety, performance, and sustainability. June 09, 2022 Modernizing Our Approach to Standards Development By optimizing our approach to standards development, we continue to drive safety through standardization and quickly adapt to the rapidly changing and advancing world around us. May 31, 2022 Helping Improve Safety for Airport Ground Support Vehicles Battery-powered ground support vehicles at airports offer zero emissions and reduced fuel consumption, but also present new safety risks. Our Standard, UL 5840, help to address these risks. May 05, 2022 Collaborating to Achieve International Standards Cooperation We convene roundtable sessions with key leaders from industry, government, consumer groups, and standards bodies to create a roadmap for the development of consistent and effective safety standards. March 15, 2022 Presenting the Standard for Safety for the Evaluation of Autonomous Vehicles and Other Products ANSI/UL 4600 seeks to specifically address the ability of autonomous products to perform safely and as intended- without human intervention. July 16, 2021 Helping Companies Report on Circular Economy and Sustainability Efforts Companies are making great strides with sustainability, but the impact is often difficult to quantify. Read how we're using standards to help companies evaluate circular economy efforts. June 29, 2021 Introducing the Standard for Safety for Automated Mobile Platforms (AMPs) Read how UL 3100, the Standard for Safety for Automated Mobile Platforms (AMPs), helps to safely guide the development of automated hardware in industrial environments. March 09, 2021 Partnering to Help Reduce Microwave-Related Scald Injuries on Small Children A proposed requirement to UL 923, the Standard for Microwave Cooking Appliances, would ultimately make the units more difficult for small children to open. December 10, 2020 Addressing Potential Firefighting Hazards Around Photovoltaic Systems ANSI/CAN/UL 3741: Standard for Safety for Photovoltaic Hazard Control intends to reduce the risk of electrical shock to first responders from damaged solar panel systems. December 03, 2020 Supporting Electrical Safety Through Improving the Legibility of Critical Information Learn about guidance regarding the display of critical installation and safety information as well as how to help assure the legibility of this information over time. April 03, 2020 Using Standards to Help Mitigate COVID-19's Spread Standards related to healthcare, air ventilation and building materials can support essential services helping to fight the virus and potentially mitigate its spread. March 06, 2020 Developing National Standards for Mexico Work continues with partners across North America to help harmonize standards and promulgate UL standards across the Latin American region. August 02, 2019 The Safety Data Lake: Enabling Analysis of Disparate Safety Data Sets Data from seven unique sources comprises the Safety Data Lake with additional data sources and capabilities to be added over time. August 02, 2019 Revealing Insights and Driving Efficiencies: Natural Language Processing Learn about how natural language processing (NLP) makes unstructured text data analyzable, and how we use it to gain insights from safety-related incidents. June 19, 2019 Mitigating the Potential Disaster of Battery Fires During Flight We developed a safety standard test for containment products which would be used to contain lithium-ion battery fires and the related effects during flight.
