Advisory Services

May 21, 2010
  UL Advisory Services personnel work with customers every step of the way to ensure that product development, launch, and lifecycle are successful.

An independent and discrete part of the UL organization—with no crossover to UL's Certification Services—Advisory Services helps manufacturers execute the front-end preparatory work that minimizes rework when it comes to meeting certification standards and greatly increases first pass yield.

In today’s increasingly competitive business environment, the windows to market are smaller, more precise, and played out on a global scale. Opportunities emerge and disappear with surprising speed. To succeed in this volatile milieu, manufacturers must accelerate product development, effectively manage evolving regulatory demands, and minimize risks. If they do these things, they gain competitive advantage. Work with UL, and they are more likely to succeed.

For over a century, UL has been the gold standard in product testing and certification. Today, that standard remains intact; no other organization has the global reach, depth of resources, and industry-specific safety expertise that UL brings to its customers every day.

UL Advisory Services helps manufacturers execute the front-end preparatory work that minimizes rework when it comes to meeting certification standards and greatly increases first pass yield.

Among the deliverables developed and provided by UL Advisory Services:
• Validation Plans
• Safety Requirements Specification (SRS)
• Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
• Failure Modes, Effects, and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA)
• Safety Plans
• Software Development for FMEA and HAZOP Analysis
• Integrated Test Plans
• Safety Manuals
• Safety Cases

• Safety Integrity Level (SIL), Performance Level (PL), and Class Calculation, Verification, etc.

UL’s deep domain expertise gives it the flexibility to work with the demands and specifications you provide for each project to meet your needs on time and on budget.
