When does a product need to be UL (Underwriters Laboratory) approved?
821609
It depends. \n\nIf this is about when in the product development timeframe it need to be approved, then it can be done last. I would, however, make sure that your product has a UL category that it can be applied to.\n\nIf this is about which types of products need to be approved, then consider most devices which carry enough energy to be harmfull need approval. This would be most any AC voltage, or DC voltages above 48V.  Also if the amount of wattage exceeds 250W, (im guessing here) it would need to be considered. Stored mechanical energy is also important too.\n\nIf an electrical product has the UL label, any electrician should be able to hook it up without complaining. A consumer product, like a desktop lamp, TV, etc, are somewhat liable-free when it's UL approved.

I think it depends on the business. Is it a financial institution? Mortgage company you are talking about? \n\nIn that case, I believe it is in the UCC which is a Federal Document.

Our company has been in business for 30 years, so that's not a problem.  But in your case, I would indicate the most recent financials you have and specify that your company was established in 200? and additiopnal financials are not available.  The company sending out the RFP will understand what this means...

http://ohioline.osu.edu/~agsafety/ash/programs/osha_labs.html\n\nYes, there is.\n\nCompliance with the Laboratory Safety Standard was initiated for the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Columbus campus in June, 1998. This standard applies to all departments that deal with wet chemistry on a laboratory scale i.e. operations easily manipulated by one person, large number of chemicals, small quantities of material, multiple procedures used, not part of a production process, etc. Compliance is similar to that for the Hazard Communication Standard with some additional requirements. The following outline should assist you in complying with this regulation. Please call the college safety office if you have any questions or require any assistance. \n\nRequirements and What to Do \n\nWritten Chemical Hygiene Plan \nObtain generic Chemical Hygiene Plan from OEHS at http ://www.ehs.ohio-state.edu/index.asp?PAGE=ehs.chp, or the college health and safety speacialist, follow instructions, add sections and fill blanks, modify if necessary. Locate your written Chemical Hygiene Plan in a place accessible to employees. \n\nChemical Information \nInventory chemicals and obtain MSDS's for those with hazard ratings of 4. Locate MSDS's with Chemical Hygiene Plan. Post inventory on laboratory door. Provide access to and identify sources of chemical information.Retain labels on chemicals received. You may search for MSDS's at http://www.ehs.ohio-state. edu/. \n\nTraining\n\nIdentify and list employees required to have training. Send laboratory supervisors and employees to OEHS or the college health and safety speacialist for generic lab standard training.Train employees on special procedures for handling laboratory chemicals.Document training.

A prerequisite is that you are sponsored prior to the test.  I would talk with Northwestern Mutual.

First of all, what do you consider a chemical construction company?  Are you in construction (29 CFR 1926) or general industry (29 CFR 1910)?  Do you build the building or do you "manufacture" the chemicals?\nSecond, in what state do you operate your business?  Not only do you have to follow Federal regulations, you might have to follow specific State regulations and statutes too.\n\nA comprehensive Safety Program can not be explained in this threat.  It is based on employee exposure and has to follow stringent guidelines.  If you operate out of Minnesota, Wisconsin or the Dakotas, feel free to drop me an email and we can chat a little more.

This involves years and years of development and testing, and unfortunately it can't be stated in just a few paragraphs in a forum like this. I suggest doing some research online for "FDA Approval Process" and "Guidelines," as the paperwork available for this is somewhere in the thousands of pages.

It indicates that the company has liquidity issues. It has only 86 cents in current assets for meeting every dollar in current liabilities. A minimum current ratio of 1 is considered a requirement.\n\ncc

Some drug formulations contain the same active compound as an earlier approved drug; these are the so-called generic drugs. Manufacturers of these types of drugs can request expedited FDA approval by filing an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). Under this filing, the evidence of safety and efficacy submitted to the FDA in connection with the previous "brand name" drug is used to help establish the safety and efficacy of the new drug. However, the FDC Act requires the ANDA to include a patent certification statement listing each patent that claims the drug or which claims a use for the drug. The ANDA applicant may rely on the information provided in the Orange Book for the certification statement. Specifically, the ANDA must include one of the following statements:\nSuch patent information has not been filed. \nSuch patent has expired. \nSuch patent will expire on a particular date. \nSuch patent is invalid or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, or sale of the drug for which approval is being sought.

I suggest you check with Underwriters Laboratory. They usually do the fire rating tests in the US.

What you are trying to do is enjoy the financial benefits of your product's sales without being willing to assume the risk (or transfer the risk to an insurer) of liability should something go wrong.\n\nThe annuals of business history are littered with many products engineers "thought" were safe only to find out later....they weren't.\n\nIf you really want to sell a product, then you should be willing to test it to make sure.\n\nYou owe that -- at a minimum -- to your customers.\n\nIf you are not willing to be absolutely certain you have a safe product, then you shouldn't be in business.
