EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of UL 130 testing. These requirements cover electric heating pads used in accordance with the National Electric Code in direct current or single-phase alternating current nominal 120 V supply circuits.
Pads are made in various shapes and sizes to be applied directly or indirectly to individuals. An unusually sized or oddly shaped pad should be evaluated against further examination and testing to determine its compliance with the requirements of this standard and its acceptability for the intended use and possible misuse.
UL 130 is a safety standard developed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for electric heating pads. This standard specifies requirements for the construction and performance of electric heating pads to ensure they are safe for use.
The UL 130 standard covers electric heating pads used for personal or domestic purposes such as heating beds, chairs and pet beds. It also covers heating pads used in healthcare facilities.
The requirements of UL 130 include electrical safety tests such as high voltage and leakage current tests, as well as mechanical safety tests such as strength and durability tests. The standard also specifies requirements for labeling, packaging, and instruction manuals.
Compliance with UL 130 is optional, but is often required by regulators and insurance companies to ensure product safety. Manufacturers can obtain UL certification for electric heating pads by submitting their products for UL testing and evaluation.
