NCAB Group set to run webinar entitled ‘Learn About UL’

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is a global independent safety science company with more than 10,000 employees and more than 150 laboratories. It boasts over a century of expertise in innovating safety and is a global leader when it comes to standards development testing and certification.

UL recognition of components is driven by end product safety concerns around fire (ie added fuel and ignitability) and electric shock. Many end product standards require UL-recognised PCBs to be used. Typically, each standard will have different requirements for the PCB based on the application within the end product itself.

Topics to be covered during the webinar include the new default solder limits in UL 796 and UL 746E, the role of UL in bare PCB requirements, verification methods along the supply chain, the potential consequences if UL is violated and also the UL Yellow card.

The speakers on the day will be Emma Hudson of the Emma Hudson Technical Consultancy Ltd (and a UL specialist) and also Matt Surman, PCB CAM engineer with the NCAB Group here in the UK.
