Getting Started with UL Standards

Do code authorities need copies of UL Standards?

UL Standards are not needed to determine code compliance, even if the installation code indicates that a product or material must comply with a specific UL Standard. The guide information in UL Product iQ®, usually identifies the standard(s) used to investigate and certify products in a particular product category. That information helps boost code authorities' confidence that a product was evaluated to the appropriate product standard, as referenced in the model code.

Accessing UL Standards at no cost

Code authorities who want to review standards can set up accounts on the UL Standards website and access standards at no cost. The website can be accessed from desktop and mobile devices.
