Hello Steve, The NEC doesn't list products. Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) do, under OSHA regulations. However, it is not a requirement for a manufacturer to get products listed. The burden of having products listed by an NRTL, like UL, falls on the purchaser of the product if the product is used in a workplace which is subject to OSHA regulations.
Most non-IT product manufacturers do not get their products listed unless a Customer specifically requires it. In some cases, a product may get listed because it is expected that a product will be marketed in a known jurisdiction that requires listed products by an NRTL. The State of Oregon and the City of Los Angeles are a couple examples. Regards, +=================================================================+ |Ronald R.

The answer was that not necessarily UL Listed, but according to the NEC they did have to be listed, labeled, certified, classified, etc., by a 3rd party. The answer went on to say that this was only applicable if the locality in which the product were to be used, and their AHJ, adhered to the NEC and that not all areas of the country adopted and adhered to the NEC. 1. Do you agree with the above responses? 2. How long has the NEC required products to be listed, labeled, certified, classified, etc.? Your comments and feedback would be appreciated.
