UL certification granted for COMs
03 August, 2006
Until recently, UL certificates that were primarily accepted in the US, Canada and in other parts of the world were mainly available for systems. Now, with the implementation of UL certification for computer-on-modules (COMs), Kontron now provides OEMs with more security in selecting appropriate COMs and simplifies the procedure for its own UL certification.
