Strategic alliance between K&L and Underwriters Laboratories (UL)

Earlier this year the three companies K&L, 1WEEE Services and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) decided to build a strategic alliance putting together the best of all three companies. This alliance is about to become reality right now.

K&L, 1WEEE Services and UL decided to offer a range of consultancy and compliance services for the so-called RoHS recast, which the European Union published on July 1, 2011.

Furthermore, together with our new partner, we undertook initial steps to expand our legal tracking services to countries in South America and Asia. For our legal tracking services we are monitoring the legislative development in the field of environmental protection addressing industry and trade. In these regions new legislation of this kind is popping up almost everywhere. In cooperation with UL we are able to offer legal tracking of environmental legislation focusing on waste and product related legal matters on a worldwide scale.

The UL managers responsible for building the local research teams are going to be located in São Paulo, Brazil, and Singapore. K&L and 1WEEE Services are going to train the local research teams and will continue to do the necessary analysis of legislation to offer reports which enable customers to comply with the new legislation.
