Paul - If you specify on your drawings that the harnesses (cables) are to be UL R/C (or Listed) and CSA Certified, your vendor should place the required markings or agency labels on the packaging or product as specified in their UL agreement. You need to have the packaging available when the FUS inspector comes around, and the markings/labels should be all that the inspector needs to see.

The vendor is recognized by UL and CSA and undergoes quarterly audits. I supply a drawing that specifies certain components (e.g. Connector X, Line Filter Y). However, I leave it up to them to use whatever UL/CSA recognized wire and shrink tube they have laying around. (I indicate the color, gauge, etc., but not the manufacturer or part number.) When my product safety evaluation is performed, what documentation do I need to satisfy the UL/CSA engineer regarding the wire and shrink tube? Comments are appreciated.
