Cord/Cable Flexibility Testing and Evaluation

Cable flexibility testing for safety in demanding situations

We’re committed to supporting your drive to protect public safety, maintain brand value, and clearly differentiate your products in the marketplace. We can help detect variances and defects at critical checkpoints throughout the supply chain, and perform quality and compliance tests across the entire manufacturing process. Our customers particularly rely on our expertise in safety science and compliance to help determine whether flexible cords intended for use in especially demanding situations — such as charging electric vehicles — will operate as expected under heavy usage and despite exposure to sometimes challenging environmental conditions.

Program benefits and cable testing laboratory locations

Our solutions help customers clearly differentiate their products in the marketplace. To address counterfeit UL Marks or labels, and protect brand value, we introduced the Gold Hologram security label. This enables product traceability across the supply chain and gives customers the opportunity to instantly verify product compliance in the field, a feature that no other certification body offers.
