Dimmers Testing and Certification Services

We drive global research and standards to continually advance and meet ever-evolving product safety, performance and interoperability needs for dimmers and lighting control devices. Our global network of technical experts and state-of-the-art facilities can help you gain the compliance credentials you need to compete in a more complex global supply chain. Additionally, you may benefit from our long-standing relationships with regulatory authorities, partner laboratories and industry technical leaders. Our experienced staff will work with you in each step of the process to help bring your devices to market faster.

Manufacturers with in-house testing capabilities may qualify to perform testing at their facilities under UL’s Data Acceptance Program (DAP). Such testing can help reduce certification process costs and time.
