Established in 1894, the UL enterprise was founded as the Underwriters' Electrical Bureau (a bureau of the National Board of Fire Underwriters), and was known throughout the 20th century as Underwriters Laboratories.
On January 1, 2012, Underwriters Laboratories became the parent company of a for-profit company in the U.S. named UL LLC, a limited liability company, which took over the product testing and certification business.
On June 26, 2022, the company revised their go-to-market strategy, rebranding into three distinct organizations that now make up the UL enterprise:
UL Research Institutes is a non-profit division of the UL enterprise that performs research to guide standards development.
UL Standards & Engagement is a non-profit division of the UL enterprise that advocates for safety standards across industries.
UL Solutions is the for-profit division of the UL enterprise the performs testing and certification as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory for OSHA.
