Steve,

To further George's remarks, if you have a product
that may be 'custom' or the construction is
inconsistent enough to make a general 'listing' by
an NRTL unfeasible (more common with industrial
products/installations), you may want to consider
a 'Field Evaluation' by an NRTL for the product.

Steve,

If the products in question are going into U.S. workplaces,
they are bound under the OSHA requirements in the U.S. Code
of Federal Regulations to be "listed" by an NRTL, regardless
of the locale. Approved NRTLs can be found at:

http://www.osha-slc.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html#nrtls

Note that not all NRTLs are approved to test to all the
standards.  You can use any approved to test to the standard
covering your products.

George

Subject:  NEC Question




Colleagues:

The question was asked if all products sold in the US,
specifically industrial products, that plugged into
the mains had to be UL Listed.  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.

Thanks in advance,

Steve Brody
