ETL Certification for the Life Safety & Security Industry

Demonstrate compliance for your Life Safety and Security products, technologies, and systems to North American product safety standards

The Life Safety & Security industry is a sector focused on the technologies, products, services, and systems designed to protect people, property, and assets from harm. This industry encompasses solutions that address fire protection, emergency response, personal safety, and security against threats such as theft, vandalism, cyberattacks, and terrorism. Some of the common types of products include:

Fire and security alarms
Detectors
Security cameras
Access control systems
Emergency communication and notification systems
Additional safety measures

Ensuring Safety and Compliance with the ETL Mark

Before entering the market, all LSS products must undergo rigorous testing and meet stringent national certification requirements. This critical process is conducted by independent Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs), accredited by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). NRTLs verify compliance with established safety standards.

The ETL Mark is one of the certification industry's most widely known and respected marks. Since emerging on the Life Safety and Security market in 2005 as an alternative to UL certification, the ETL Mark is now seen on thousands of products, including fire or burglar alarms, smoke detectors, control panels, and more. At Intertek, we have helped to change the landscape of the industry by giving manufactures, alarm installers, and central stations a viable choice in selecting a certification partner. The ability to choose the certification agency that best meets your needs enables better partnership, faster product launch and greater cost-efficiency.
