Advantages of UL certification for our customers

UL certification offers a number of advantages for our customers, including:

  • Reliability and Safety: SIMEL motors are tested to meet safety standards, ensuring a reliable product.

CSA: The Gateway to the Canadian Market

CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certification is a key safety mark for electrical and electronic products destined for the Canadian market. Our equipment is also certified by UL to carry out tests according to Canadian standards, offering our customers the opportunity to easily access that market with the guarantee that our motors meet all the required safety requirements.

SIMEL LAB’s test and measurement instruments are certified by UL to perform tests according to strict North American standards. This means that our products, tested and approved according to UL specifications, also comply with the CSA requirements necessary for marketing in Canada.

This integrated approach allows our customers quick and uncomplicated access to both the US and Canadian markets, with the assurance that SIMEL motors meet all the safety and quality standards required in North America.

SIMEL LAB: Designed to Break Down Boundaries

SIMEL LAB is authorised by UL to test our motor samples. The control and measurement instruments in our laboratory, used for the specific tests for the North American market (USA and Canada), have been checked, approved and certified by UL. This approval allows us to verify the conformity of our motors on site, speeding up the certification process and maintaining total control over the quality of our products.
