我們在日常生活中可能注意到一些家用電器上有UL標籤。這些小標籤已成為多種產品的安全標準. 許多廠商在銷售產品時都會申請UL認證. 那麼UL標籤如何製作? 其具體要求是什麼?
本文將協助您了解 UL 標籤的類型, UL認證的必要性, 以及獲得UL標籤的方法.
什麼是 UL 標籤?
UL標籤一般是指美國保險商實驗室經過測試評估後提供的認證標籤. UL 是保險商實驗室的縮寫. 成立於 1894, 該實驗室是一個獨立的, 致力於公共安全測試的非營利組織. In order to prove that the product meets the safety standards and has passed the UL test, we will affix the UL label on the product.
Benefits of UL Certification/ UL Label
UL certification is mainly for product safety certification and enterprise safety certification. Its ultimate purpose is to bring a relatively safe level of goods to the market and help ensure people’s health and safety.
當然, adopting the UL certification system is voluntary. So why do so many people still apply?
Here are some reasons and benefits of printing the UL certification mark:
1. Stronger prestige
UL certification indicates that the company’s products are more authoritative and credible in terms of safety in use. 同時, this is also the market’s full affirmation of the company’s product safety. For enterprises with UL certification, consumers and buyers will have more trust and confidence.
2. Accelerate the speed of global trade
Passing UL certification can greatly shorten the time for products to enter the North American market and can be successfully exported. It is convenient for the company’s brand to quickly enter the fast lane in the global market.
3. Standards of quality
Both dealers and user groups are very concerned about the quality and safety of products. No matter where they buy products, they will focus on selecting products with UL certification marks. This has become the default standard for some enterprises. Products that are not UL certified are usually rejected for purchase.
4. Long history
因為UL認證歷史悠久，品牌形象非常好, 已經深入人心. 為了讓產品更好的銷往北美市場, 很多中間商會要求產品有認證標誌.
5. 可能的影響因素
對於沒有UL認證的產品, 有些保險公司可能不同意為他們承保. 此外, 當地法律可能禁止企業使用和銷售未經 UL 認證的電子產品.
UL 標籤的類型
UL認證針對不同類型的UL服務可分為兩個級別: 上市認證和認可認證.
UL Listing 用於最終完整產品的認證. UL認證是針對產品配件和材料的安全認證. 換句話說, 只有經批准的配件或符合相關要求的材料才能組裝並應用於最終產品. 例如電線, 變形金剛, 電路板, 開關, 插頭, 塑膠, 金屬, ETC.
此外, 我們也可以將UL標籤分為以下三種類型:
1. UL 認證
屬於UL列名服務的各種產品一般包括各種電氣設備: 例如家用電器, 醫療設備, 資訊科技設備, 電動工具, 等等. 它也適用於某些組件, 例如開關, 電線, 保險絲, ETC.
2. UL 分類
一般來說, 分類產品不是消費者使用的產品, 但更多用於工業或商業. 所以, 此類產品的檢測要求將會更加嚴格. 如工業化學品, 建築材料, 消防設備, ETC.
3. UL 認證
UL認證標籤, 也稱為增強標記標籤. 增強型智慧UL標誌主要包括四個要素: 基本標誌, 認證屬性, 相關國家代碼, 和唯一的識別碼。消費者透過掃描標籤上的條碼即可知道該產品已通過UL的測試和評估.
標記和標籤系統類別
標籤產品採用UL969測試標準, 並依其產品特性分為以下認證項目:
- PGDQ2, 標記和標籤系統.
根據UL969標準, 用於加工標籤, 標籤處理機或標籤印表機可直接申請. 此類產品是指已印刷且一般經過表面處理的標籤. 這些標籤適用於乾燥的室內環境. 然而, 經特別批准, 也可在戶外或潮濕環境使用. 簡而言之, PGDQ2是印刷標籤，出廠後不能再加工或印刷.
- PGJI2, 印刷材料.
根據UL969標準, 印刷或未印刷的表面材料和油墨的組合可由標籤原料供應商應用, 標籤製造商, 或印刷廠. 無論貼紙在出廠前是否已預先列印或未列印, 客戶可以根據自己的需求使用雷射列印或熱轉印列印來識別印表機色帶與材質是否相符。綜上所述, PGJI2是半成品, 出廠後可再列印.
- PGGU2, 標記和標籤系統材料.
根據UL969標準, 主要用於不干膠標籤黏合劑, 包括沒有印刷自黏標籤的表面材料和玻璃膜, which can be applied by label raw material suppliers.
- 地理資訊系統2, 標記和標籤系統, 限制使用.
符合UL817和UL859標準, 對特殊領域所使用的可彎電線進行特殊標記. It can be applied by label converter printing companies. 例如高壓電線. 應特別注意: 不同標籤型號應有詳細說明是否適用UL588或UL817, 哪些電線類型, 有多少電線尺寸, and whether they can be used indoors or outdoors.
- 丙二醇, 授權標籤供應商計劃.
這是指標籤供應商在向最終產品製造商印刷包含ULlistingMark的標籤時所需的認證. PGAA是UL認證的標籤製造商. 最好不要使用沒有此認證的工廠或供應商.
UL969測試與評估
To get the UL certification, the manufacturer must first submit the product to Underwriter’s Laboratories for a series of tests. If the product meets all applicable requirements, UL will authorize the manufacturer to use the UL Certification Mark on the product or component. Once a company is approved to apply the UL certification mark to its products, the UL label manufacturer must submit the design of the UL label to the UL Label Center for review. Labels must be tested to ensure they meet the essential requirements specified by UL.
UL generally judges whether a label complies with the specification based on the following factors:
1. 材料
2. 耐磨性
3. Persistence in harsh environments
4. Size/area
5. Clarity
