MINNEAPOLIS — Chief Manufacturing announced it has been approved by the Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) to be a certified Client Data Test Site (CDTS). With the new test site, Chief will be able to test most products for UL standards in-house, submitting the paperwork to UL for final review (automated products will not be tested by Chief). UL is an independent, not-for-profit product safety certification organization that has been testing products and writing Standards for Safety for more than a century. In order to receive certification by UL to be a CDTS, Chief had to meet ISO17025 qualifications as a test facility, pass a UL inspection of the test lab and have proven knowledge of the UL standards.
