Most NRTLs will provide an audit "checklist" upon request. I can think of several immediate sources. The basic mfr's requirements can be found in the Section General of your UL FUS reports, CSA Design Guide for that standard, or perhaps an agency's IEC 17025 audit form (but the latter would be more appropriate for the company's test lab than the factory).
Also, whatever agreement was signed between the mfr and the agency will state the min factory requirements. luck, Brian > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf > Of Arthur Michael > Sent: Friday, June 17, 2005 1:15 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: NRTL IPI Checklist??? > > Hello all, > > Can anyone share a written checklist for use by a newbie in > the compliance > business (not me :-), faced with their first interaction > with a NRTL's IPI > (Initial Production Inspection). > > I've been thru it a number of times over the years myself, > but have never > see a written procedure.
