UL is abbreviated as Underwriter Laboratories lnc. and is one of the most trusted qualified assessment provider by many manufacturers.
To printed circuit boards, the standard are UL 796, specifical PCB standard, and UL 94, which are used for flammability test of all plastics. These specify many performance tests to measure the long-term reliability and fire safety of PCBs. UL logo, manufacturer logo, and circuit boards types will be marked if the PCB follows these standards.
The UL certification mark is the RU symbol, which is very common to see on the circuit boards.
