Jim, That's France's Certification Mark. One place that you can find a list of certification marks is in Panel Components Corp catalog, and another is in Appendix A of the UL procedure covering ITE.
In my opinion, the certification mark from one agency attests that the unit bearing the mark has been evaluated to the applicable standard by a competent certifying agency. Since compliance to the applicable standard has been demonstrated once, I think that it does not need to be demonstrated again to a different agency and that it does not have to have more than one mark for me to, in good conscience, accept that unit in my CE marked product. A long winded way of saying that one mark is enough for me.

Our purchasing people have found one they want to use, but the only approval mark on it is a highly stylized "NF USE" (the "NF" appears above a large "S" with the "U" and the "E" cupped inside the letter "S"). Does anyone know what agency (if it is an agency) this mark is from? We are using this socket on a product which will require CE marking. Am I right that the minimum I need is one agency approval from a European safety agency (TUV, Semko, et al)? Does this "NF USE" mark give me what I need?
