United States safety consulting and certification company, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), inaugurated on Tuesday a wire and cable laboratory operated by its subsidiary, PT UL International Indonesia, in North Jakarta as part of its business expansion in Southeast Asia.
UL commercial and industrial business president Ben Miller said after the inauguration ceremony that the company had chosen Indonesia for the laboratory’s location because of the county's fast-growing economy.
UL said in a statement that the laboratory, the company’s first wire and cable certification facility in Southeast Asia, had been accredited by the National Accreditation Committee as a testing laboratory and by the Product Certification Agency (LSPro) for the certification of Indonesian National Standards (SNI).

The statement said that UL Indonesia had signed an agreement with the Industry Ministry's Center for Material and Technical Products (B4T) on the expansion of the SNI certification scope by UL.
UL Indonesia is allowed to provide testing services in line with SNI certification.
Miller said that UL standard certification required ongoing surveillance and comprehensive monitoring of products starting from their designing until their selling.
Meanwhile, vice president and managing director for UL ASEAN Region Anthony Tan said that UL operated three laboratories in Southeast Asia.
The company had two laboratories in the consumer technology and transaction security fields in Singapore and a textile and consumer goods laboratory in Vietnam, Tan said.
Tan added that the company would open another laboratory in the heating and ventilation field in Thailand this year. (yon/bbn)
