Better, Faster, More Cost-Effective.

Given today’s volatile economic conditions, constrained budgets and tight development timelines, your NRTL choice is critical. TÜV Rheinland® is a leading North American certification organization because of its client oriented way of doing business. The TÜVRheinland® work-flow process reduces test-cycle time and lowers overall costs, and its vast international approvals network gives clients entry to more global markets quicker and more economically. The cTUVus mark is widely accepted as the UL/CSA equivalent by retailers, and many manufacturers are turning to TÜVRheinland® for the cost savings, worldwide network and responsive customer service. Today, more than ever, you need to demonstrate how regulatory compliance adds value to your operations. TÜVRheinland® is your best choice to make this happen.

Key Points of cTUVus Certification

• The cTUVus mark is accredited by OSHA (NRTL) for the US and SCC for Canada.
• The cTUVus mark is recognized as the equivalent and direct replacement to the UL and CSA marks by city, county and state/provincial regulators throughout the US and Canada.
• Safety testing conducted to applicable US and Canadian standards and in most cases can be combined with testing for other global certifications.

Cost- and Time-Saving Advantages of the cTUVus Mark Include

• Only two annual factory inspections with a suitable Quality system in place, not up to four or more, as required by others.
• One-stop testing and certification for all of your worldwide certification needs — one test can lead to global compliance.
• Most organizations charge annual fees for their certification/file maintenance. Consolidating your certifications with TÜVRheinland® offers substantial cost savings over the life of a product.
• Existing UL and CSA certifications are convertible to cTUVus certification for minimal cost.
