UL will, under some pretty strictly controlled circumstances, rely on test results which have come from a non-UL lab, or which are from tests performed at the manufacturer's facility but witnessed by a UL staff member, but all of the certification paperwork, and any invoices associated with it, will come direct from a UL office.
