UL Solutions Marketing Claim Verification Programs
Eyesafe is proud to partner with UL Solutions to offer industry-leading marketing claim verification for the Eyesafe Display and Accessory Requirements 3.0 programs. These new programs establish criteria for high-energy blue light emissions and color performance. Verification empowers brands to confidently communicate their product’s efficacy in reducing blue light, through independently validated claims.
Eyesafe® Display Requirements 3.0
Defines key criteria, including blue light toxicity, circadian stimulus, color gamut and color temperature, to measure a products blue light emissions associated with visual comfort and sleep disruption, while ensuring display color performance.
- RPF® (Radiance Protection Factor): Measures protection from blue light that can impact our eyes, focusing on the blue light hazard, peaking between 435-440 nanometers (nm).1 The higher the score (on a scale of 0-100), the better the blue light reduction. A score of 35 or higher is needed to earn a marketing claim verification.
- CPF (Circadian Protection Factor): Focuses on reducing blue light that can affect our sleep and circadian rhythms (peak 480-500 nm).2 Higher scores indicate less circadian disruption, with 35 or higher needed to earn a marketing claim verification. This requirement is optional but enables brands to use differentiated sleep-benefit messaging to address blue light’s effect on circadian rhythm and the consumer need for protection.
- Color Performance: Determines accuracy and vividness of display colors.

Eyesafe® Accessory Requirements 3.0
Defines key criteria tailored to display type (LCD/LED or OLED) to measure a products blue light emissions associated with visual comfort and/or sleep disruption, while ensuring display color performance.
- For LCD/LED Screens (common in laptops and monitors): The assessment methodology focuses on RPF® (Radiance Protection Factor), or level of blue light filtration across the wavelengths that may impact eye health (peak 435-440 nm)1 and blue light toxicity reduction. The higher the score (on a scale of 0-100), the better the blue light reduction. A score of 20 or higher is needed to earn a marketing claim verification.
- For OLED Screens (common in smartphones): The assessment methodology targets CPF, or level of blue light filtration across the wavelengths that can affect melatonin production and circadian rhythms (peak 480-500 nm)2 and change in circadian impact (380-780 nm). Higher scores indicate less circadian disruption, with 20 or higher needed to earn a marketing claim verification.
- Color Accuracy: All products must meet criteria for correlated color temperature and luminance to ensure display colors remain vibrant (accommodations provided for privacy screen protection).
Process for UL Marketing Claim Verification and Marks
UL Solutions tests products using an objective, science-based protocol and evaluates the validity of each claim. Products are sent to UL Solutions for verification. When a product’s marketing claim has been Verified, customers receive a UL Solutions / Eyesafe Verified Mark with the Verified claim, a marketing toolkit, a unique identifier and a page on verify.UL.com. Please complete the form below to inquire about verification.
