What is the HL Product Safety Mark?

The HL or Hermon Laboratories (tested safety) mark is a voluntary certification mark applied to finished products that signifies their compliance with all the statutory requirements of the Product Safety standards. The scope of the HL mark includes essential product characteristics such as electrical safety and hazardous material use, ergonomics, and noise, and also covers an evaluation of a manufacturer’s factory production. Applying an HL mark to your product reassures safety-conscious Israeli consumers, as well as quickly demonstrating compliance to Israeli’s regulators.

Why is a HL Product Safety Mark Important?

Products bearing the HL mark have been subjected to rigorous testing and evaluation. The scope and widespread acceptance of the HL mark by regulatory authorities and Israeli consumers means that products carrying the HL mark hold an important market advantage over comparable products without it.
