UL Files Withdrawn
UL Files Withdrawn
(OP)
Hello,
I attempted to obtain the UL Listing Report for a specific product using the stamped number on the UL-142 label. UL replied that the files were withdrawn over 5 years ago and will not provide any further information. I understand that there are many reasons for files to be withdrawn, and think I know the answer, but I've been asked to definitively answer this specific question:
If a manufacturer's files have been withdrawn, does it necessarily mean that the product does not meet the UL standard.
In this specific case, it is UL-142 (1985), and UL-142 has been updated since then... Thanks in advance!

Not paying quarterly costs to keep it going..
Company out of business..
Company sold to another company..
Failure to respond to non-compliance letters..
Or any other violation of the UL terms..
If it has the label then it met the standards at the time it was built. (assuming they weren't still applying the labels after the file was withdrawn for whatever reason)
