UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES
The Underwriters Laboratories Client Agent Program is a natural extension of our services and allows Trace-East to provide test data which will act as a significant portion of the information base for UL review and ultimate approval. The advantages to customers utilizing Trace-East for testing can be significant. We provide our UL related clients with unmatched value resulting from significantly reduced turnaround and the service capabilities our customers have come to expect.
The first phase of the process begins with a simple notification of your intention to seek UL Recognition of a given product. This notification, along with completion of the Agency Authorization Notification Form L37, will allow Trace to act on your behalf regarding all interactions with Underwriters Laboratories. Trace personnel will then have the opportunity to provide two distinct services to you. One option will allow us to coordinate and expedite all administrative aspects of your product recognition, alleviating you of the long and time consuming process. The second option will allow us to perform the product testing right in our facility. In situations where time is a critical element in product development, Trace can help expedite the complete recognition process.
Our scope of certification includes all areas of polymeric materials, plastics and printed wiring board testing, governed by UL-94, UL-1694, UL-746A through E , UL-796 and UL796F; including both Long and Short Term Aging properties.
As always, our goal is to meet the current and future needs of our clients. We believe diversification into UL related programs enhances our offering and expands our scope. Furthermore, diversification allows Trace Laboratories - East to continue providing our customers with the ultimate product ... confidence.
As a formally recognized firm to the ISO 9001:2000 quality document, Trace Laboratories - East is very familiar with UL procedures.
We share a common belief that quality and safety should be a fundamental prerequisite for any product.
As leaders in our field, Trace-East is continually searching for better and more effective solutions to test/analysis issues.

Electrical Testing
You’ve seen it on literally every electronic device you own – the UL mark. Trace Laboratories- East can help you achieve this critical and fundamental credential. Our electrical capabilities include: Dielectric Strength, Hot Wire Ignition, Dielectric Constant and Dissipation Factor, Arc Tracking, Current Rating, and many others.
Short and Long Term Aging
Working in conjunction with our customers and the UL project engineers, Trace Laboratories-East can guarantee concrete recognition of any material at the 5000hr. interval. In addition, our large oven capacity ensures proper airflow and eliminates conditioning inconsistencies…a critical factor when weeks of data could be rendered meaningless and time lost due to improper aging.
Flammability Testing
Regarded as the standard for safety testing throughout the world, UL flammability encompasses a diverse range of methodologies and requirements. Our services at Trace Laboratories-East include methods covered under the UL 94 standard. We also perform several of the more demanding requirements, including small component testing in accordance with UL1694 and Oxygen Index per ASTM D 2863.
