UL Safety Overview
UL Standards
Smart Film Inc. prioritized having our products independently tested before entering the North American market. At that time, we were the only Smart Film verified for safety, and we remain the only tested Smart Film available today. All components surpass ESA, NEC, and NFPA standards.
Why UL Laboratories? Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is the world’s largest and most respected independent, non-profit testing organization. Headquartered in Northwoods, Illinois, UL evaluates safety and performance across a wide variety of products, from fire-rated doors to surveillance equipment. The laboratory offers full compliance and quality assessment services to manufacturers, regulators, and organizations globally. UL also provides educational resources, supports authorities in safety enforcement, and works to strengthen systems worldwide.
UL testing covers areas including fire resistance, medical devices, plumbing and food equipment, AV and home electronics, electric vehicle components, EMC certification, IT hardware, and telecom systems. Products are assessed against UL standards as well as external requirements, such as municipal or building codes. UL’s rigorous testing ensures products meet or exceed industry expectations.
In 2005, UL conducted nearly 97,915 evaluations across 62 labs worldwide, with over 20 billion products now carrying the UL Mark.
The Ontario Electrical Safety Code and Ontario Regulation 438/07 mandate that all electrical devices, equipment, and products must be certified before sale. These standards protect the public, workers, and businesses by ensuring electrical installations are safe. Non-compliance is a legal offense: corporations may face fines up to $1 million, and individuals or directors could face fines up to $50,000 and/or imprisonment for up to one year. Installing uncertified electrical equipment is illegal and endangers users.
