The role and commitment of UL Solutions

Maan Ghanma, Director of Smart Solutions for UL Solutions Consumer, Medical, and Information Technology Division, stated that UL Solutions will help technology manufacturers demonstrate their commitment to industry-wide collaboration and the interoperability benefits for users across new device types in Matter 1.2. As the IoT industry continues to develop unified standards, UL Solutions expanded capabilities will strengthen its ongoing support for IoT product manufacturers.

The Matter standard has attracted the support of major companies across the technology industry, mainly due to the advantages it brings to the industry and users, such as cross - platform communication methods and cross - device compatibility. As an authorized third - party testing organization of the CSA, UL Solutions has been providing testing services for Matter - enabled connected smart devices since the CSA launched Matter in October 2022.

連通性標準聯盟認證和測試總監(jiān)Jon Harros指出，UL Solutions在Matter的開發(fā)和最初推出的整個過程中一直是重要合作伙伴，并提供了聯網智能設備測試方面的專業(yè)知識。隨著Matter 1.2的推出，測試Matter設備的需求不斷增加，UL Solutions在其現有CSA授權實驗室的Matter測試能力也得到了擴展。
