<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThis is a growing concern for many trading companies working with photocell light control products. In this article, we reveal the lesser-known UL Private Labeling mechanism, helping you retain brand ownership while remaining 100% compliant with UL standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I. The Fatal Pitfalls of Traditional Practices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u274c Common Violations
Directly replacing the original model number
\u27a4 Consequence: Immediate invalidation of the UL certificate; product blacklisted.
Combining the client logo with the UL mark without authorization
\u27a4 Example: A company merged the client\u2019s logo with the UL mark in the product design. Result? A lawsuit from UL demanding $28,000 in compensation.
Concealing manufacturer identity
\u27a4 Risk: Customs detention rate jumps to 72% (According to UL market surveillance data from 2023).
