George,
Your associate may have only two choices for the U.S. and/or Canadian
markets for the protable version. Either will serve in both countries.
a) Submit the product to UL for a c-UL-us mark.
b) Submit the product to CSA for the CSA/NRTL mark.
For any "fixed" electrical device that is to be "installed" in a home or office,
it will probably require both one of the above, and being capable of passing
any local building code inspection.
I am not familiar with the exact UL/CSA stds. for electrical lighting.

Subject: Safety Certs - custom lamps
Hello Group,
I am forwarding this question for a colleague who resides in Washington
state, USA.
Basically he would like to create, on a commercial basis, custom lighting
(lamp fixtures), both portable (carry and plug in) , and permanent (built
into a house). However, building inspectors etc want to see a safety mark
for these creations. (UL or CSA or NRTL etc.)
He is looking for advice about how a small business can economically and
efficiently achieve safety certification for one-of-a-kind custom lighting
fixtures.
Thanks in advance
George Stults
