UL Recognized Component (Categorized/Recognized)

A component or part that has been certified as safe for assembly into a final product.
Application: Used on internal parts of machinery or electrical equipment that are not directly in user contact such as Fire doors (tested only for fire resistance) or industrial enclosures classified for certain environmental protection levels (e.g., UV light, moisture)

UL 969 (Label and Labeling Standard)

Function: Tests the durability of labels. Labels/nameplates attached to UL Listed or Recognized products ensure that the labels will not peel, fade, or become illegible when exposed to various environments such as heat, humidity, or chemicals such as warning labels on electrical boxes, automotive parts, outdoor equipment, or medical devices requiring durability.
