What is U.S. certification?

U.S. certification standards span a number of fields, including electrical equipment, mechanical systems, fire-resistant materials and chemical analysis, providing clear safety guidance for the design and use of products.

U.S. certification comes in three types:

• Listing: applies to complete products, indicating that the product has passed U.S. testing, complies with the relevant safety standards and may carry the U.S. listing mark.
• Recognition: applies to components or materials within a product, indicating that they meet U.S. safety requirements and are suitable for use in an end product.
• Classification: used for product evaluation under specific conditions, demonstrating that a product meets U.S. standards for a particular use or performance characteristic.

Why does U.S. certification matter?

The U.S. certification mark has become a global symbol of product safety. Its importance shows up in several ways:

• Assuring product safety. U.S. testing, validation and certification focuses on keeping products safe in use, lowering the risk of accidents caused by product failure and protecting the lives and property of consumers and operators.
• Meeting regulatory requirements. In many countries and regions, U.S. certification is a baseline requirement for market entry. Electrical equipment and many other products in the United States and Canada need U.S. certification or an equivalent before they can be sold legally.
• Raising market trust. The U.S. certification mark is a widely recognized symbol of safety that lifts confidence among consumers and business partners and helps build your brand image.
• Reducing legal risk. Products that pass U.S. certification comply with legal and industry standards, materially lowering the legal liability and risk a business faces over product issues.

How U.S. certification helps your business

• Faster market entry. U.S. certification helps businesses meet the regulatory requirements for market access, shortening time to market and improving competitiveness.
• Greater brand value. Products carrying the U.S. certification mark are more appealing in the market, lifting brand reputation and attracting higher-quality customers.
• Supporting global expansion. U.S. certification is accepted in many markets around the world, helping your products enter international markets more easily and widening your commercial footprint.
• Driving innovation and development. Familiarity with U.S. certification testing and standards gives businesses a basis for improving product design, helping them strike a balance between innovation and safety.
