Unique Leptospermum Factor

The ULF (TM) rating is an indicator as to the strength of the antibacterial effect. A rating of 10 or more is considered to be suitable for therapeutic purposes.

That's a cool rating. 0 to 16. Can make for some $$$ honey.

Unique Leptospermum Factor ... Hmm... nothing like that in the USA right?
I wonder how ULF is determined.
