Anyone can participate as a stakeholder and follow our standards. There are no specific qualifications and the only prerequisite is registration to our Collaborative Standards Development System (CSDS) platform. 

Upon accessing CSDS and following a standard, you will automatically be added to its open and future work areas.

In these work areas, you will have the ability to do the following:

  • Review proposals
  • View comments 
  • Comment on proposals
  • View the vote summary (when available)

Detailed steps are available in the downloadable Resource Guide.

For a more structured commitment with UL Standards development and the additional ability to vote during balloting, consider becoming a technical committee (TC) member. 

The process of joining a TC involves submitting an online application through our MyInfo portal for review and consideration.

Once approved, you will automatically gain access to the following:

  • Notifications for TC meetings
  • The ability to comment and vote on proposals for the standard(s) covered by the TC in CSDS
  • The published UL Standard(s) covered by the TC

Detailed steps are available in the downloadable Resource Guide.
