Seems to me a commercial rather than technical issue... I can see the lawsuit now: UL sues IEEE list server for deformation of character; IEEE sues posters for causing lawsuit; posters sue ETL for starting it; ETL sues....

However, because of UL's reduction in staff ( which is causing huge delays in getting service ), and because of some of their harsh treatment of "their clients" , I am sure a number of UL's "past clients" have successfully found alternative safety labs to submit their products to. I am investigation alternative safety labs ,ETL is a lab that keeps popping up as an alternative to UL. Would anyone please offer me any pros or cons in dealing with ETL ( I already know the Pros and Cons of UL ) ? Also , if you would or could inform me of the "level of acceptance" throughout the country that ETL has, I would also appreciated that information. I am already very much aware of the "broad based" acceptance of UL as "THE SAFETY INSTUTION" to go to.
