My guess is:
UL accepts HAR cordage (not cordsets) for products going
to countries where the HAR certification is accepted.
UL does not accept HAR cordage in the USA because the HAR
cordage does not meet the UL/ANSI standards for cordage.
Likewise UL/ANSI cordage does not meet HAR requirements.
It would be nice if the IEC could develop a single cordage
standard that could be accepted worldwide. I don't really
believe that cordage needs to be country- or region-unique
as it is today.
Likewise, safety is not a function of national borders
because all men are created equal. Its disappointing to
see Argentina set up its own safety certification program
and not accept the worldwide CB system.
Regards,
Rich
