ANSI/UL 197 Readiness Tool

This tool will give you better insight into how ready you are to enter the certification process for ANSI/UL 197 with NSF.

Are you interested in getting your product certified to ANSI/UL 197: Commercial Electric Cooking Appliances? Within the United States, the National Electrical Code requires electrical equipment to be certified by an OSHA-approved NRTL

To make this process easier to understand, we’ve created an ANSI/UL 197 Readiness Tool. The tool asks a series of questions about your product that will give you insight into your potential readiness to enter this certification process with NSF (an OSHA-approved NRTL).

Disclaimer: Please note that the readiness percentage provided is a general estimate for informational purposes only and does not provide a guarantee or grant any type of certification. Your score does not affect future applications. Contact our team at [email protected] with any questions.

Ensure that your products meet the United States NRTL certification requirements of OSHA and the Canadian Electric Code requirements of the SCC.
