NTS Anaheim and a number of other NTS laboratories offer UL Engineering and Administrative Client Agent Services and Testing to help you achieve UL Recognition for your product. NTS Anaheim is the ONLY UL Data Acceptance Program (DAP) certified lab for materials testing in North America.
It means that NTS can evaluate and test your product and send our reports directly to UL for recognition. Once UL approves the data, they will send a Notification of Authorization (N of A) to apply the UL certification mark.
NTS is a fully certificated laboratory under the UL Third Party Test Data Program (TPTDP). We can get your project started faster, provide pre-program engineering, pre-screen testing, direct engineering contact, custom artwork optimized for PWB/PCB recognition, and sample preparation provided on LTTA test programs.
In the engineering phase, the generic or elevated RTI (via aging) are discussed and recognition parameters are defined. Complex or unusual constructions are welcome to be submitted for evaluation.Next, NTS and UL quotations are provided and upon acceptance, final sample requirements are determined. The samples are sent to NTS laboratories, and NTS CNC routes samples from your laminate. Samples are processed immediately to determine acceptance and frequent aging updates with RTI projections are provided.Depending on the project scope, NTS will prepare and submit reports for short term indexing and provisional and final recognition of products. Following UL’s acceptance they will issue a Notice of Authorization.
NTS has unmatched experience evaluating industrial laminates, plastics, HDI materials, printed circuit boards, and soldermask materials.
