Products with UL certification offer the highest level of compliance and product quality. And for the cannabis industry moving from the underground into a regulated framework at a rapid pace, these assurances are paramount. They also lend legitimacy to your operation, creating opportunities to partner with organizations across the U.S. and around the world.
What do extractors need to know about UL certification and how it impacts their processes? Here, we’ll detail how and why UL certification carries weight for the cannabis industry.
The safety and reliability of equipment is imperative in cannabis extraction. A properly devised and monitored extraction system can produce high quality extract and ensure the safety of all operators, and that starts with hardware built with strict safety standards at the forefront.
