(</p><p>An individual or company pays a subfee to UL. )</p><p>UL users are usually large manufacturers. </p><p>This is how it works: The manufacturer sends its products to UL and UL performs a series of safety tests. </p><p>UL testing ensures that all components are working properly, the fixture is grounded, and the appropriate grade of wires are used. </p><p>Once the item is considered safe, the manufacturer can use the UL seal in all future production of the item. (</p><p>To be clear, not every item that gets a stamp has been tested. )</p><p>In order to maintain this relationship, the company continues to pay the UL annual fee, in turn, UL reserves the discovery-</p><p>Check the manufacturer\'s facilities at any time. </p><p>In terms of lighting, electricians, inspectors, designers and architects use UL seals as safety shorthand; </p><p>If something goes wrong, they see it as a protection against accountability. </p><p>For new buildings, UL certification becomes even more important when building inspectors evaluate check-in certificates for new projects. </p><p>This is the case when the electrician I hired refused to hang my client\'s old-fashioned lamps; </p><p>He did not see the UL seal above, so he would not hang it for fear that the building inspector would quote him, thereby endangering his permit. </p><p>The problem is that it\'s not easy to find someone who can get an UL certified old-fashioned fixture. </p><p>Although Manaf uses top-of-the-line UL-Approved parts (</p><p>Sockets, wires, etc. )</p><p>He did not get UL certification in order to renovate the fixture</p><p>Approved stickers for this fixture. </p><p>Unfortunately, UL does not have enough resources to search on its website. </p><p>It has a subscriber directory, but there is no geographic filter. </p><p>This directory is only helpful when confirming that people who say they can get UL approval are actually OK. </p><p>Drengenberg suggests that if you find someone saying they can do UL certification</p><p>Check the business name in the UL directory. </p><p>He warned: \"Be careful of those who claim to be able to obtain certification. </p><p><br></p><p>\"It\'s not surprising that the existence of UL pirates is: getting UL approval on a fixture can be expensive. </p><p>Asked three UL recently-</p><p>The certified inspector owns a five-</p><p>Socket fixture certification. </p><p>Prices range from $195 to $650. </p><p>In the end, only you can decide whether it is comfortable to give up UL certification. </p><p>Non-sale, purchase and installationUL-</p><p>The approved fixtures, as well as a large number of designers, antique dealers and electricians who are hesitant about UL\'s requirements, say it is unnecessary and strict. </p><p>In fact, when I talk to some antique dealers, they all say it\'s not cost-effective to have their fixtures</p><p>Because it takes only about 5% of the time for the customer to get approved. </p><p>\"Today\" program style expert, former magazine editor Meihu is \"flip! for Decorating.</p>
