Hello Fabian, The NRTL we deal with uses a scheme called a split inspection. We do the submittal, and they will inspect at our suppliers facility. It's a little tricky, but it does work. However, I would be concerned about the possibility that the supplier does not have an NRTL listing, and may not meet the product standard. I have suffered many delays due to a component that does not have an approval, and is not discovered until the end of a product cycle. This scenario has either caused redesign, or additional testing at our costs. Good Luck, Ray Russell [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>

We have a potential supplier of an OEM equipment that is not NRTL listed. They suggested we have it listed (i. e. pay for the testing ourselves) as part of our system. I am not aware of any case histories of this nature. Has anyone had this experience? Can an NRTL issue a listing for one company (buyer of product), yet audit another (the manufacturer)? I am skeptical of this suggestion.
