Group,
What about another scenario that I have been in with two NRTL's.
For the sake of embarrassment,lets call them 'NRTL A' and 'NRTL B'
Firstly any components or equipment recognised or listed by an NRTL are deemed
'acceptable' to OSHA so long as it is used as prescribed in its conditions of
acceptability or use. so can I presume that as OSHA accepts any NRTL mark they
are all of equal standing.
Why is it then that NRTL A will not accept a power supply approved by NRTL B.
The latter is true for NRTL B who will accept NRTL A's mark with no problems (in
all cases the conditions of acceptability are followed)
So long as the conditions of acceptability are followed and there are no
engineering reasons for NRTL A to reject NRTL B's approval then what happens
next. Is there any recourse or would we have to go to one NRTL and get the whole
lot retested. If there is no engineering reason, can an NRTL reject anothers
recognition just because it distlikes it or maybe sees it as competition!
Has anyone else had a similar experience, if so what did you do to resolve it
without paying out for more NRTL approvals on an already recognised component.
Any comments would be greatly recieved.
