An energy meter is a device that measures the amount of electrical energy supplied to or produced by a residence, business, or machine. Energy meter testing is a process by which a specified electromechanical or electronic electricity meter is compared to a laboratory-standard meter to ensure that measurement accuracy is maintained in the field. Energy meter testing is a type-test process utilizing, in most cases, six production samples. UL has the ability to test meters as well as their specific "smart" features to the performance requirements of Asia, Australasia, Europe, South Africa and the United States. UL's range of capability is continuously being expanded. This global range of continuously expanding testing capabilities positions UL as a trusted and valued partner for your company's entrance into the energy meter market. Types of meters tested

• Electromechanical and electronic
• Residential and commercial
• Active and reactive
• Single-phase and polyphase
• Indoor and outdoor

Throughout its 115-year history, UL's reputation, experience, knowledge and brand name has been recognized and trusted worldwide by manufactures, retailers, jurisdictional authorities and consumers.

With more than 10 years of experience in testing smart energy meters, UL is one of the most qualified service providers in the market. Some of the biggest names in business call on UL to test their energy meters. We can often conduct all tests associated with a meter evaluation program from a single facility. For example, in addition to core meter accuracy testing, we have in-house testing capability for EMC, vibration, and environmental simulation. This in-house testing saves you time and money by freeing up internal resources and lab space. At UL, we strive to ensure that our testing capability keeps pace with the demands of the rapidly evolving smart meter industry.
