Of utmost priority for any electrical installation is to protect personnel from any shock hazard.

In North America, Underwriters Laboratories insisted that connector manufacturers, depending on the application, respect their standards. The UTS series had thus been qualified and is certified by this organisation according to UL 1977 (Components Connectors for Use in Data, Signal, Control and Power Applications). The flammability status of our plastic material is also tested based on UL 94 (Flammability of plastic materials for parts in devices and Appliances)

In Europe and in Asia, IEC standards are better known and trusted by end users. One of the most used in connector industry is the IEC 61984 (Connectors - Safety requirements and tests) Like its American equivalent, the IEC refers to safety rules and the UTS series was designed to respect these rules.
