Underwriters LaboratoriesUnderwriters Laboratories is a well-known testing laboratory that develops standards for consumer products, chiefly dealing with product safety. A product with Underwriters Laboratories approval is said to be "UL-rated." Purchasers can identify such products by the distinctive UL Mark http://www.ul.com/mark/#north, accompanied by a serial number. UL has ratings standards for many products, even bullet-proof vests. The average householder may be more familiar with UL-rated products such as home electrical appliances. A moderately famous video clip shows UL researchers demonstrating the risks of certain models of deep-fat turkey fryer. This serves as a suggestion of the importance of this sort of product testing. http://www.ul.com/consumers/turkeys.html The European analog of the UL mark is the CE logo. See also External link
