UL stands for Under writer Laboratories Inc. The UL Safety Testing Institute is a more authoritative institution in the United States and a larger non-governmental institution engaged in safety testing and identification in the world. It is an independent, for-profit professional organization that conducts experiments for public safety. It uses scientific testing methods to study and determine whether various materials, devices, products, equipment, buildings, etc. are harmful to life and property and the degree of harm; Determine, compile and distribute appropriate standards and information that can help to reduce and prevent loss of life and property, and conduct fact-finding operations.

UL certification of different fire rating

In order to unify the uniformity of the fire protection level of fire protection products, the national Bureau of Standards has set up standards to regulate the steps of fire testing, the requirements of equipment, and the temperature requirements of the test furnace in a specific time, which are explicitly stipulated so that the fire test results of each product can be compared and the fire protection requirements of different levels can be achieved.

As follows:

UL72-350 Fire protection standard

1. 350 level 4 hours placed in 2000 degrees Fahrenheit (1093 ° C) fire for 4 hours, the temperature in the box is kept below 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 ° C), paper documents do not carbonize.

2. 350 level 2 hours placed in 1850 degrees Fahrenheit (1010 degrees Celsius) fire for 2 hours, the temperature in the box is kept below 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius), paper documents do not carbonize.

3. 350 level 1 hour in 1700 degrees Fahrenheit (927 ° C) fire placed for 1 hour, the temperature in the box is kept below 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 ° C), paper documents do not carbonize.

4. 350 level 30 minutes placed in 1550 degrees Fahrenheit (843 degrees Celsius) fire for 30 minutes, the temperature in the box is kept below 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius), paper documents do not carbonize.

Differences between UL94 and UL72：

UL94 and UL72 are both UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification standards related to fire safety, but they have different focuses and applications.

UL94: Flame Classification Testing Standard

Focus: UL94 primarily focuses on the flame resistance of materials.

Application: This standard is used to test the burning characteristics of plastic materials under fire conditions. UL94 categorizes materials into different grades, including V0, V1, V2, etc., to indicate their burning characteristics during flame testing. The V0 grade represents the highest fire resistance, while V2 represents lower fire resistance.

UL72: Fire-resistant Safes and File Cabinets Standard

Focus: UL72 focuses on fire safety equipment such as fire-resistant safes and file cabinets.

Application: This standard is used to test the performance of fire-resistant safes and file cabinets under fire conditions. It examines the fire resistance of these devices in high-temperature environments to ensure the protection of internal documents and valuables during a fire.

Overall, UL94 is primarily used to assess the fire resistance of materials, while UL72 is used to evaluate the performance of fire safety equipment. Products tested under UL94 may not be damaged, but the documents inside may be destroyed by fire; whereas products tested under UL72 may be damaged, but the documents inside will not be burned, which aligns with their respective focuses and applications.
