UL Certification for IoT Devices Streamlined by AI

The applicable UL standards for an IoT device depend on its function, end use, and target market. Common standards include IEC 62368-1 for audio and video equipment, as well as UL 62368-1 for consumer electronics. Connected devices with wireless functionality may also need to address FCC requirements alongside UL certification. Hardware Compliance's AI agents analyze your specific device specs and surface every applicable standard with full citations, so nothing is missed.

UL certification timelines vary depending on device complexity, documentation readiness, and lab availability. The process traditionally takes months when managed through conventional consulting, largely because research, documentation drafting, and lab coordination each consume significant time. Hardware Compliance compresses the pre-lab preparation phase with AI-generated technical files and test plans, helping IoT teams get lab-ready faster and move through the certification process in weeks rather than months.

Traditional compliance consultants bill by the hour and handle one product at a time, making the process slow and expensive. Hardware Compliance's AI agents read and reason across thousands of pages of regulatory standards, generate product-specific documentation, and match your device with the right lab — all within a single platform. The workflow is driven by AI with expert review built in, so you get consulting-quality outputs without the consulting timeline or cost structure.

Hardware Compliance is built to support teams managing compliance across multiple products. Each device is analyzed individually against applicable standards, receiving its own technical documentation, test plan, and lab match. This means compliance throughput scales with your product portfolio rather than being gated by consultant availability or manual research capacity. Teams with multiple IoT devices in development can run them through the platform in parallel.

Hardware Compliance supports multi-market compliance, mapping requirements across the US, EU, UK, and other jurisdictions simultaneously. For IoT devices, this means the platform can surface requirements for UL certification in the US alongside CE marking requirements for the EU — including relevant IEC standards shared across markets. This allows IoT teams to build a single, coordinated compliance plan for every market they intend to launch in.
