The UL classified mark: this kind of mark is for some special products, and only some characteristics of those products can fulfill the UL's requirements, then it's not so common compared with the UL listing and recognized markings. & R8 S( `3 Q& u* S) y) D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 d$ P Q% d1 z' G- uTopic II--->Decription and requirements for UL type R labels( P& A* [/ U2 |$ z1 d1 R$ c- X
