A UL mark has 4 elements, as seen in the picture:
-
The letters “UL” are in a circle, a bold (thick) circle and are staggered
-
The word “Listed” appears under the circle whereas the word “Classified is wrapped around the top of the circle
-
The product identity is listed
-
An issue or control number (a four-digit alphanumerical or longer code)
Additionally, the overall diameter of the UL mark should not exceed 3/8′ of an inch. The font for all letters is Helvetica Condensed Black except for the registered trademark symbol (®). Do not purchase products with a UL mark that uses another font as they are counterfeited.

I see these signs on all kinds of cabling and fire protection supplies. What is the benefit of something being UL rated?
