Hey Everybody,

I would like to know what the backward r and then the u stands for on many electronics. And its just not computers its on basicly everything with a circuit board, does it mean Rohs approved or something else thats the only thing I could think of and I know some people are going to think what the heck am I talking about so I included pictures.







Thank you much much Everyone

Perhaps it's just a logo for a company?
Seems like it might be. Try googling it?

I just finished a logo test that some co-workers and I had started, and I found alot of the answers through google. I think it's a good place to start. =)

I've seen it on different stuff. I think it has to do with some kind of industry standard. Just like a UL or a CE logo on stuff.

Yeah I know its a standard, I was just wondering what it means since I see it on everything, I work in the electronics field yet I dont know what it means nor does an engineer I asked. And I thought maybe someone on here would know.

Thank you very much

Underwriters Laboratories.

UL Recognized Labeling

Huh, whenever I see it I think of the russian letter; Я (ya). That's the only thing about knowing more than one alphabet...especially when I try to recite the Spanish alphabet and go onto the Russian alphabet. I'm confused :unch: !

Thank you very much for telling me its a standard of Underwriters Lab, I would have never figured that one out, Thank you very much
