How To Get A UL Listing for Your Central Station
Find out how starting February 2000

04/10/01

CSAA is pleased to announce the dates of a series of seminars to be conducted jointly with Underwriters Laboratories. These seminars will be hosted by CSAA member companies wherever possible and presented by experienced professionals from UL.

One of the purposes of these seminars is to dispel much of the myth surrounding the difficulty in obtaining a UL Listing and then maintaining the standards to keep the Listing (see course overview below.)

Participants will have check lists and a step-by-step guide on obtaining their listing, as well as meeting with a personal "mentor" or contact from UL who will help them through the process after the seminar is completed.

As more and more AHJ's become aware of the value of independent 3rd party verification and listing, and as more are intent on requiring it in the future, many companies will want to take advantage of this "one-stop shopping course" to get up to the industry standard of the future well ahead of the curve.

The dates and locations are in the box below. Mark your calendars now! Specific information will be forthcoming as to hotels, times, registration materials, etc., as well as more detailed information on the course content.

Schedule of Classes

Feb. 21-22, 2000   Atlanta, GA
