UL Certification
CV Labels are proud of their UL Certification, UL are one of the most recognised, independent conformity assessment providers in the world.
During testing, labels are exposed to various environmental conditions, such as humidity, water, high and low temperatures, sunlight and chemical agents.
For a label to be certified, it must pass four primary test components:
- Visual examination, to ensure there is no edge lift
- Legibility, to ensure there is no print or ribbon smear
- Defacement, to ensure there is no abrasion or edge lift when the label is scraped with a blade
- Adhesion, to ensure that there is no peel when exposed to varying extreme conditions
CV labels manufactures self-adhesive labels under UL Licence No MH27869.
Product codes PGDQ2, PGDQ8, PGJ12 and PGJ18 are included in the scope of the present licence.
Quality in the wider world
Our UL certification extends into growing label markets where there are thousands of application in need of permanent labelling – from electrical appliances to medical devices.
Typically, this could include safety-related information, such as hazards, warnings and cautions, along with installation instructions, product classifications and electrical ratings.
