Sounds like a good product, but can someone please tell me the significance of ‘UL listing’? It’s mentioned so often it must be important, but it’s unexplained in the press release.
Follow-up note
Can it be Underwriters Laboratories, the “U.S. not-for-profit, privately owned and operated product safety testing and certification organization” as in this Wikipedia article? If so, I note that is says “UL evaluates products for compliance with specific safety requirements. UL certification does not guarantee the product will perform acceptably…” Still, having to go through independent testing is a better process than the EU’s self-certified CE marking.
UL listing is a requirement of the American market. Is similar to the CE mark in Europe. Linear’s new solution is surprising given the fact that battery powered CO detectors with/without radio have been around in Europe for sometime eg from SF Detection.
