What does UL mean by the terms “applicant,” manufacturer” and “listee”?
These terms can be defined as follows: • Applicant — The company or individual who applies to UL for the investigation of a component, product or system. This party contractually assumes the financial obligation for the cost of the investigation and Follow-Up Service, and thereby exercises rights to information obtained as a result of the investigation. • Manufacturer — The company or individual who maintains and operates the factory facilities where a UL Listed, Classified or Recognized product is manufactured or assembled, and where the product is normally inspected as part of UL’s Follow-Up Service. • Listee — The company or individual whose name is used or in conjunction with a product and appears under a product category in one of UL’s published Product Directories. The terms “Classified company” or “Recognized company” are equivalent to Listee and used in relation to the other types of UL services.
