Amund,
I think early on you mentioned that you didn't want to be restricted
where
you could sell. So if that's the bottom line then I think its off the NRTL you
go. Even given the single condition of the City of LA which not only requires
it (or a City of LA inspection where they claim to use the UL standards). I
think you will also find that regardless of what the government says, many of
your clients will ask for it if it is used as part of their system. We
occasionally sell things to Public Utility companies that have legal
exceptions these OSHA, and the NFPA, yet they still require inspection or
Listing to a NRTL . I think you could make some sales without any of this,
either through no requirements, or even more likely, through lack of
inspection/enforcement in some areas, but that doesn't give you an
unrestricted product if you will.
Like any country some of laws are pretty good some of them aren't.
Given that
we are a pretty feisty bunch by nature (well, not me certainly) somebody
always has a differing opinion and consensus isn't all that easy. Then again I
don't know that its any easier to get consensus in the EU, is it?
Heck we get one president who immediately undoes the laws the last
president
did, only to have them re-done or undone by the next guy - heavy sigh!
