UL certification of the
test laboratory of Lati Industria Termoplastici
S.p.A
Lati S.p.A. Laboratory was accredited by UL (Underwriters
Laboratories Inc.) on 28th May 2004 enabling them
to carry out the following tests within the WTDP
(Witness Test Data Program):
• Horizontal and vertical inflammability
tests (20mm and 125mm) in accordance with
the UL94 normative;
• CTI (Comparative Tracking Index) and
GW (Glow-Wire) tests in accordance with the
UL746A normative.
The accreditation is the formal proof, given
by an independent organisation (specifically
UL), of our laboratory's technical competence
in carrying out determined tests on our compounds.
UL, using criteria in accordance with specific
normatives, has verified:
- The technical competence of the personnel;
- The validity and suitability of the test
methods used;
- The reference of the measures to national
and international samples;
- The suitability, calibration and maintenance
of the equipment;
- The work environment;
- The sampling, transport and management
of the test samples;
- Quality Assurance of the results.
In accordance with the WTDP the above
mentioned tests for homologation of our material
can be carried out by Lati S.p.A. personnel
at our premises, whilst UL personnel supervise
and assist with the tests. The advantages of
such recognition regard the following aspects:
- Improvement in the quality of the product
and the service supplied to the client;
- Greater product competitivity;
- Cost and time saving in product homologation;
- Reduction of the Time to Market;
- Increasing trust from clients;
- Direct access to the world market.
The UL trademark is the most widely
recognised and accepted safety trademark in the
US and Canada, and it facilitates access for
the sales of our material in all of the principal
markets in the rest of the world (South America,
Europe, Middle East, Africa, East Asia and Australia).
Every year more than 10 billion UL trademarks
appear on new products all over the world. We
are already working towards extending the test
activity of our laboratory to include other types
of tests, those most frequently requested by our
clients, in order to offer an evermore detailed
product quality certification.
