I require, with notes on the parts drawings, that all fabricated or
molded flame rated plastic parts be UL Recognized Component. The
packaging the plastic parts are shipped in typically has a label
containing all of the information the UL inspector needs.
The UL category for Fabricated Parts (QMMY2) states "...Fabricated
parts so produced are identified by an Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
assigned designation. In addition to the designation, the
molder's/fabricator's name, part identification, date of molding or
fabrication, material manufacturer's name and grade designations are
marked either on the part, shipping container, or on an accompanying
specification sheet.".
In addition, I require a C of C with each shipment. If the labeling is
on the packaging, the inspector will not look at the C of C. I don't
think the C of C is necessary unless the marking requirements are not
being met by the molder.
Of course, if the markings are on the packaging, make sure that the
parts are stored in the original packaging, and not repackaged or
binned.

I have not been as fortunate to have a "trusting soul" conduct my factory
audits. I was asked by a safety agency located in the U.S. to provide proof
of plastics through a C oC so here is what we settlted on.
