I work for an Australian company that has always assumed that 'having UL'
means 'having the 'UbackwardsR' mark'.
The facts as I understand them are
(1) a UL1950 certificate is required
(2) only an NRTL can issue this certificate
(3) The CB scheme was created to allow people in countries like Australia
to achieve accreditation in other countries (including the US) through
their local test house
(4) the mark of any test house qualified to issue a UL1950 certificate is
all that is required
In our case, there are people in neighboring countries that
(1) participate in the CB scheme
(2) recognize some Australian test houses (none of which can issue UL1950)
(3) are qualified to issue 1950
Our marketing department is fearful that not having the 'UbackwardsR' mark
will raise questions in
the mind of prospective customers.
I'd be very appreciative of some candid feedback.
