The Underwriters Laboratories (UL) regulations are always changing to keep up with the growing electronics industry. As of July 1, 2015, all UL Listed power supply cords are required to show a specific marking on the plug.
There will be three separate markings depending on the region they are used for. For the USA, there will be one Underwriters Lab brand marking. Another branded mark will show a C-UL/UL mark for USA and Canada, and the third mark will be C-UL just for Canada.
Many products require redesign or modification before meeting the Underwriters Laboratories’ requirements and becoming eligible for the marking. Product certification is a critical element when working in the electrical industry. When you look for the improved listed marking, you will know it is secured and backed up by safety regulation experts.
Power cords have recently been a product of fraud and with this new marking, you can be sure Quail is providing a quality product just for you.
Please note that ALL power cords that were manufactured before July 1, 2015, are not required to show the mark because they are still UL Listed approved. We have updated our power cords to implement this new required branding mark.
