You need to talk to a UL customer service rep. I do not understand why you need to continue to pay a 3d party lab once the product has been approved by UL.
Typically, a 3d party lab will act as your authorized 'agent' to do the testing and perform the submittal to a safety agency. If your name is on the product, and your facility is the authorized factory in the FUS report, then there should be no other financial relationship between you (the applicant) and your agent. UL invoices for annual file maint and quarterly audit fees should come direct to you. Perhaps one of our good members from UL should contact you offline. luck, Brian From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Alex Horvath Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 3:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: UL annual renewal Hi all, We have a product that was issued a UL certificate by a test lab even though it did not require any UL testing/certification. I can say this because it does not contain or have any inputs in excess of 5V (it's powered from a laptop PCMCIA port) and because a different test lab for a subsequent version of the product stated that the product is exempt from UL tetsting. Now we are getting a renewal request for UL from the lab that did the UL certification. We would pay the fee but we were not treated well by the lab so my management would like to forgo this payment if at all possible. Since we do have a UL certificate, whether it was necessary or not, must we now pay the annual fee? - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
