Joe: I believe you are correct.
Check the following URL http://www.osha-slc.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/nrtlmrk.html, and you will find the following: "...OSHA accepts only those products that contain the NRTL's mark and that the NRTL has certified within its scope of recognition, which includes the test standards and testing sites that OSHA has recognized for the NRTL...." Of course, OSHA only has jurisdiction over the workplace, but my understanding the the requirement that NRTL listed products be marked is written into the NEC and Local codes as well. I can't site chapter and verse, but I believe you are correct Joe. Also, we know that many consumer electronic devices are used within the workplace, and I believe OSHA inspectors look for NRTL labels on equipment used in the workplace.

It doesn't matter if it has been tested or not. I believe the issue is that if the NRTL is performing a factory audit, they will only review marked product. Therefore, if you do not mark it, you can not claim NRTL Listing. -----Original Message----- From: Courtland Thomas [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2001 4:05 PM To: emcpost Subject: Product Marking Hello group, I have a question concerning labeling a product. If we go to a NRTL and get Safety testing performed, we typically put the Safety logo (UL for example) on the product label. Our marketing people have a problem with having different logo's. They would like to standarize on a single logo such as UL. This kind of thinking hinders the process of getting the best price possible. I would like to get the testing performed at a lab which doesn't use UL. Would it be possible to just put "Conforms to UL 1950 and CAN/CSA 1950" on the label and forget the logo? Or is there a requirement to have a logo?
