When the local UL auditor was last on site, I gave a few comments about the
UL web site, and told them about some incorrect data. Was contacted (same
day) by a UL MIS-type that seemed very interested in my feedback. But, to
date, no action ahas been taken on my comments. Your best chances for
affecting change is to complain to your UL engineering rep.

Subject: UL standards on line



Is is just me, or is anyone else having trouble with UL's on line 
point of sale of standards? This is not the place to provide a 
detailed critique of the faults inherent in the service, but there 
seems to be numerous broken links, no useable contact phone number 
for customers from outside the USA, no on-line support worth the name 
and no e-mail address to send enquiries or complaints to. Twice now I 
have purchased standards on line, the site has taken my money and it 
has then proved impossible to find anywhere from which to download 
the standard I have been charged for.

I used to think BSI were the people who provided us all with an 
example of how standards bodies have failed to get to grip with the 
electronic age, but I'm beginning to wonder if UL haven't been taking 
lessons from them.

Can anyone recommend some one at UL to complain to who might actually 
do something about it?

Nick. (exasperated...)
