EMI Seals and Gaskets has achieved UL94V0 certification for a range of solid and sponge materials.
This certification underscores their commitment to providing high-quality, fire-safe materials to their customers. Indeed, while many companies may claim that their materials have been tested to, comply to or meet UL94V0, having the official certification from Underwriters Laboratories (UL) provides a level of assurance and credibility that sets EMI Seals and Gaskets apart.
UL94V0 certification is crucial for seal and gasket materials as it ensures fire safety compliance, mitigates risks and assures quality.
Fire Safety: UL94V0 certification ensures that the material used in seals and gaskets meets stringent fire safety standards. V-0 is the most stringent classification in the UL94 standard, indicating that the material has passed vertical flame tests without burning for more than 10 seconds or dripping flaming particles that ignite cotton placed below the sample.
Compliance: Many industries, such as electronics, automotive, and aerospace, have strict regulations regarding fire safety. UL94V0 certification demonstrates compliance with these regulations, ensuring that the seals and gaskets meet industry standards and can be used safely in various applications.
Risk Mitigation: Using UL94V0 certified seals and gaskets reduces the risk of fire hazards in equipment or systems where they are installed. This is particularly crucial in applications where flammable materials or high temperatures are present, as non-compliant materials could contribute to the spread of fire.
Quality Assurance: Obtaining UL94V0 certification involves rigorous testing and evaluation of the material’s flammability characteristics. Therefore, products with this certification provide an assurance of quality and reliability to customers, indicating that they have undergone thorough testing to meet specific safety standards.
The Difference Between UL-Certified and “Tested to UL94V0” or “UL94 compliant”:
- UL-Certified: A material that has undergone independent testing by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and is officially listed in the UL database.
- “Tested to UL94V0” (Non-Certified Claims): A manufacturer’s internal or third-party test without UL oversight or verification.
Be wary of vague wording like “engineered to meet UL94V0” instead of UL-certified.
By prioritising certification, EMI Seals and Gaskets demonstrates their commitment to providing superior products and maintaining the trust and confidence of their customers. This achievement will undoubtedly strengthen their position in the market and further differentiate them from competitors.
