This reminds me of a problem I had with UL Heat-Shrink Sleeving. Company "A" had the UR mark and it was sourced from two distributors.
Distributor "B" maintained the identity of the manufacturer on the rolls of sleeving - there was no problem. Distributor "C" cut the sleeving in short lengths and packaged it in short lengths - there was do UL traceability and I suggested that they did a stock purge of the non=traceable stock. That was how we resolved it problem of traceability. There are distributors that badge and therefore modify products. Modification can be merely changing the label - or circuit modification - or changing to labeling/instructions. The way that many good (and not necessarily large) distributors overcome the problem is to register with UL and place themselves under the UL Follow-Up Program - that way there is assurance - traceability and no problem. Hope that helps.

Our power supply distributor has put his brandname on the power supply and the only link to the original power supply manufacturer is the UL number and not any name or logo. So the label on the power supply unit has the name of the distributor and the manufacturer UL number. Can we get any problems with UL during thee follow-up process ? I ask because I have a feeling that the name of the manufacturer should be present on the power supply unit.
