Having fabric tested to UL specifications

Specialty Fabrics Review | June 2010

Compiled by Juli Case

My client wants me to use a fabric that is tested to a UL specification. Does that have to be done at UL?

Underwriters Laboratories is an independent organization that specializes in writing safety-related specifications. If your client wants a material that is certified by UL to one of their specifications, then, yes, it must be tested by a UL facility. If however, your client simply wishes the fabric to be tested to a UL specification, then any testing facility should be able to accomplish that for you.
