But what exactly is the difference between the two? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This article will explain everything you need to know about UL Listed and UL Recognized components to make the best decision for your next project.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is UL listed mean<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There are a lot of different standards and labels that are used to designate the safety of electrical products. Two of the most common are UL Listed and UL Recognized. So, what is the difference between these two labels?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/ac-power-supplier\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5238 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/\u672a\u6807\u9898-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"What is UL listed mean\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/\u672a\u6807\u9898-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/\u672a\u6807\u9898-1-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/\u672a\u6807\u9898-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/\u672a\u6807\u9898-1-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/\u672a\u6807\u9898-1-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/\u672a\u6807\u9898-1-705x705.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/\u672a\u6807\u9898-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/\u672a\u6807\u9898-1-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/\u672a\u6807\u9898-1-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/\u672a\u6807\u9898-1.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">UL Listed means that a product has been tested by Underwriters Laboratories and meets their safety standards. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UL Recognized<\/a> means that a product has been tested by Underwriters Laboratories and meets their safety standards, but also includes additional components or materials that UL has evaluated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So, in general, a UL Listed product has been independently tested and found to meet safety standards. A UL Recognized product has met the same safety standards but includes additional components or materials that have also been evaluated and found to be safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is ul recognized<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">UL company service offers product certification. This means that UL tests products to see if they meet specific safety standards. If a product meets these standards, it can be &#8220;UL Listed&#8221; or &#8220;UL Recognized.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So, what&#8217;s the difference between these two terms? UL Listed means a product has been tested by UL and meets all the required safety standards. UL Recognized means that a product has been tested by UL and meets some, but not all, of the necessary safety standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Products that are UL Listed are considered to be safer than products that are not certified by UL. However, both UL Listed and UL Recognized products are safe to use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is the difference between ul listed and ul recognized<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is a safety consulting and certification company that has been in business since 1894. UL provides products and services related to product safety, security, and sustainability. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">UL Listed means that a product has been tested by UL and meets the requirements set forth by UL. UL Recognized that a product has been tested by UL and meets the requirements set forth by UL but is not necessarily manufactured by UL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The main difference between UL Listed and UL Recognized products is that UL Listed products are certified by UL to meet all the requirements set forth by UL, while UL Recognized products only need to meet some of the conditions set forth by UL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To be UL Listed, a product must go through a series of tests conducted by UL to ensure that it meets all the safety requirements set forth by UL. Once a product passes all the tests, it is certified by UL and can be used with the UL Listed mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On the other hand, UL Recognized products only need to meet some of the safety requirements set forth by UL. These products are not necessarily tested by UL and do not bear the UL Listed mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">UL Recognition for Power Converters<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There&#8217;s a lot of talk about UL listed and UL recognized products, but what does it all mean? Let&#8217;s look at power converters and see how they fit into the UL world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Power converters are typically UL recognized rather than UL listed. This is because power converters don&#8217;t usually need to undergo the entire testing process since they&#8217;re not directly involved in the electrical circuit. However, they must still meet all the safety standards UL set to be recognized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you&#8217;re looking for a safe and reliable power converter, check for the UL mark of recognition. This way, you can ensure that the product meets all the necessary safety standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Why Get UL Certified or Buy UL Products?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There are many benefits to getting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UL certified<\/a> or buying UL products. For one, it shows that you are committed to safety and quality. This can give you a competitive edge and peace of mind knowing that your products have been tested and approved by a reputable organization. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Additionally, UL certification can help you access specific markets or sell your products in certain states. In some cases, it may even be required by law. Finally, UL certification can provide valuable data about your product&#8217;s performance and allow you to improve over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/p>\n<div class='flex_column av-3yezvt-007fe040a6fef165b5c4d02d06362a37 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_two_third  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div '   ><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5237,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5161"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beipower.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
