Are Point Pod Outlets UL Certified?

A: Yes. Point Pod outlets are certified to UL 962A, the safety standard for Furniture Power Distribution Units. While this standard primarily covers power units designed for furniture, it also includes specific provisions for use in kitchen and bathroom countertops.

To ensure compliance, Point Pod outlets undergo additional liquid spill testing by Intertek, confirming their suitability for countertop applications. UL 962A Clause SC4.3 further requires that any receptacles used in kitchens or bathrooms must be tamper-resistant, which Point Pod outlets are.

As a result, Point Pod outlets are certified and approved for installation in kitchen countertops. The Intertek report and product labeling all confirm this compliance.
