As the world’s leading performance material manufacturer, CHIMEI’s Tainan-based laboratory has been certified by the international safety and science certification organization UL, making it the first testing laboratory in the world to obtain UL authorized test capability (f1). This is expected to dramatically shorten the safety certification cycle for products of outdoor electrical equipment, enabling clients to quickly adapt to the burgeoning market of 5G and IoT technologies worldwide.

With mobile telecommunications technologies progressing at an unprecedented rate, the 5G market is expanding with no end in sight, adding fuel to the exponential growth in demand for outdoor electrical equipment. To secure a competitive advantage, product quality is as important as the speed of market entry, and product safety in an outdoor environment is arguably the most important quality consideration. In 2016, CHIMEI’s lab was the first UL Client Test Data Program (CTDP) testing laboratory in the APAC region to pass the comprehensive UL’s Long-Term Thermal Aging (LTTA) Test. With this foundation of empirical data and solid testing, the company subsequently passed the more rigorous UV Light Exposure Test and the Water Exposure and Immersion Test in 2020, becoming the first UL CTDP(Client Test Data Program) testing laboratory in the world which obtain UL authorized test capability ((f1)/(f2)) outdoor Evaluation Program and pass UL LTTA ( Long Term Thermal Aging, RTI (Relative Thermal Index) Evaluation Program ) test capability correlation program as well. This ensures that CHIMEI products are suited for outdoor use, and that their durability and weather resistance standards comply with UL 746C.

Thanks to this UL-certified laboratory, CHIMEI is poised to provide a unique one-stop service solution for clients seeking to shorten their R&D and testing cycles while significantly cutting down on costs. With its highly rigorous testing process and materials database informed by decades of experience, the company is able to offer clients comprehensive support throughout the production process, from product development all the way to testing and certification.
