UL Standards & Engagement and ANAPCI Establish Formal Partnership

Organizations agree to collaborate in furthering their respective efforts to strengthen fire safety in Chile.

The agreement was signed virtually on August 6, 2024. The objective of the MOU is to share knowledge and strengthen fire safety in Chile through standardization.
