Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
 PROFILE
No one can say Underwriters Laboratories (UL) hasn't made its mark. More than 60,000 manufacturers -- including the makers of toys, industrial controls, and telephone equipment -- pay to have their products tested by the nonprofit laboratory. Products with the ubiquitous UL mark typically sell better than untested products. Founded in 1894, UL expanded worldwide by first partnering with other certification organizations, and then (beginning in the mid-1990s) by acquiring facilities outside the US. The organization has testing and certification offices in more than 40 countries and serves customers in more than 90 countries.
