HARTING Technology Group Accepted into UL Client Data Acceptance Program
Products and solutions can now be licensed for US market even more quickly
Elgin, IL, January 10 2017 - UL, "Underwriters Laboratories", one of the world’s leading safety certification organizations, has granted the HARTING Technology Group the approval and license for the Client Test Data program. Under this program, HARTING is able to conduct testing in its own test laboratory and submit the data to UL in order to streamline the process for UL certification. As a consequence, UL certification requirements are now seamlessly integrated into HARTING’s product development process, as samples can be tested in-house.
UL product certification, in turn, allows the HARTING Technology Group to better support the North American Market. UL is an independent safety science organization that helps manufacturers to tackle business challenges and opportunities in safety and compliance, cybersecurity, sustainability, quality and brand leadership. The headquarters of the company is based in Northbrook, IL, with numerous locations around the globe.
"UL‘s acceptance of our test laboratory into this program means that we can now license our products even more quickly for the American market and push forward efficiently with customer-specific solutions that we develop jointly with our customers," says Dr. Stephan Middelkamp, Head of Quality & Technology Services at HARTING Technology Group.
