Underwriters Laboratories (UL)

  Underwriters Laboratories investigate products and components of products to identify certain hazards affecting life and property. The investigation of plastic materials is done by conducting standardized tests categorizing the plastic material's physical, electrical and flammability properties. Many CALIBRE resins are listed in the UL Recognized Component Directory and on "yellow card" that are available in request.

Canadian Standards Association (CSA)

  CSA also tests products and components according to standards to help ascertain their suitability for use in given applications. Many CALIBRE resins are listed with CSA in their Plastics Components Acceptance Directory.
