UL and CSA
You may have some questions about UL and CSA standards and certification. Here we answer those FAQs.

What Are UL Safety Standards?
UL safety standards are written documents outlining the process in which a product is tested. UL standards are accredited in the US and Canada and are used to help mitigate risk, injury, or danger of certain services, systems, and products (such as electromagnetic components).

To be UL safety certified, Schott Magnetics designs products to the American National Standards. Our products are tested by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory to ensure compliance. We are then issued the UL certification mark. Our certified products then enter the U.S. marketplace to our loyal customer base.
Is UL Certification Mandatory in the USA?
No, obtaining UL certification is not mandatory by U.S. law. However, using UL-recognized products in certain applications may be required.
What Is CSA Certification?
CSA stands for Canadian Standards Association and its standards are internationally recognized. CSA sets safety requirements and standards for electrical, mechanical, and other high-risk products.
