UL Announces New Listing Mark for Plumbing Industry
As of February 23, 2007, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), instated a new UL Plumbing Mark for the certification of plumbing-related products that demonstrate compliance with both plumbing codes used throughout the United States, the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC).
The new UL Plumbing Mark better serves the needs of manufacturers, users, installers, regulators and consumers by clearly identifying plumbing products that comply with all requisite health-effect and performance standards and product requirements. Products bearing the Mark are deemed suitable for use in accordance with both the (IPC) and (UPC).
With this new UL Plumbing Mark, manufacturers can now obtain a single certification listing to demonstrate product compliance nationwide from the most widely used, trusted and recognized safety certification organization in North America. In addition to our plumbing industry expertise and the enhanced brand value for customers’ Listed products, this new certification Mark is another example of UL’s focus on serving the needs of the plumbing industry and our proactive leadership in offering services that benefit our customers.—Ann Marie Gebhart, UL Water Program Director
