Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is an independent safety science company that develops and publishes safety standards and conducts safety testing and certification of products, materials, and systems. UL was founded in 1894 and their headquarters is in Northbrook, Illinois.

UL exists to promote safety and protect people, property, and the environment from potential hazards. UL conducts safety testing and certification of products and systems to ensure they meet recognized safety standards and comply with applicable regulations. UL's safety standards cover a wide range of products and industries, including building materials, consumer products, electronics, and industrial equipment such as boilers.

Cleaver-Brooks relies on UL certification to demonstrate the safety and compliance of its products. UL certification helps Cleaver-Brooks to ensure that its products meet recognized safety standards and can be sold and used with confidence by its customers.

For consumers, UL certification provides assurance that the products they are purchasing have been independently tested and verified to meet recognized safety standards.

Why Genuine Parts 

Purchasing Cleaver-Brooks Genuine Parts is the best way to keep your boiler system operating at peak performance. Genuine parts are precision engineered to fit your boiler, and they are rigorously tested for quality to ensure your boiler system continues to run safely and reliably. Non-genuine parts often wear faster, can damage other parts of your boiler system, and may invalidate your equipment warranty.
