This thread brings up a question that I have been wondering about. Amund's question dealt with a product that had the UL label and a file number. The file number was used to identify the manufacturer. My understanding of the response that Amund received is that this identification is adequate
My question is: Does the file number need to be on the label? Can the manufacturer leave the file number off of the label and simply put a generic UL (or CSA) mark on the product along with their nameplate identifying the manufacturer, model and serial number? If this can be done, are there any sources for pre-printed UL and/or CSA labels? I'd especially be interested in one with the CSA mark and the "C US" subscript denoting dual UL/CSA certification. These days, management likes using less custom parts and saving money.
