Regulatory Compliance Assessment – WERCS

 

UL WERCSMART

Kroger utilizes WERCSmart by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to help manage regulatory compliance requirements. Our suppliers must carefully read Kroger’s WERCs Supplier letter?and register affected products at https://www.ulwercsmart.com 

To avoid an item setup delay, we recommend registering the item with WERCS prior to setting it up with Kroger.  Items that require a WERCS assessment will not complete item setup until the WERCS assessment is completed. 

This requirement includes existing products previously sold to Kroger as well as new products. Please contact wercsinfo@kroger.com with any questions.

Classes of products requiring registration in WERCS include the following. This list is not exhaustive; contact wercsinfo@kroger.com if you are unsure whether your product should be registered.
