Hi Jim:

Uh, no... you can always test the material with each submittal. And then deal with periodic follow-up sample testing. Virtually all safety standards require plastic materials to be certified to UL94 or equivalent IEC standard (or separately tested). If the supplier wants electronic business, then it behooves him to obtain UL and cUL certifications of his materials. I tell this to my suppliers. They come back and say okay if I pay for it. I say okay, but you can't sell certified material to any other customer. The supplier pays for the certifications.
