As the maker states itThe Alpha II is tested and certified to the rigorous UL-2849 standard

Safety certification: UL 2849: most models, confirm this one. Vvolt states: “The Alpha II is tested and certified to the rigorous UL-2849 standard” (source). That is the manufacturer’s own claim, not something we verified, you can check a specific model in UL’s Product iQ database. Why this matters.
