Underwriters Laboratories.  They test and certify products for electrical 
and fire safety and adherence to relevant safety standards and codes. 
As far as I know they do not comment on performance.  Ie a UL listed power 
supply shouldn't electrocute you nor spontaneously combust, but there are no
statements about how well it supplies regulated power to your motherboard.
