Group, All NRTLs accept other NRTL's components except for UL which cannot accept other NRTL components which they claim is due to the integrity of the UL Marks.
However, UL does accept other NRTL components if the NRTL has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with them - for example CSA abd UL have an MOU - and they review the complete report of the other NRTL and describe the construction as part of their procedure - ie UL wishes to do the follow-up on the other NRTL component themselves.
