Hi John, Although UL 2089 is on the NRTL standards list it seems to only apply to RV's and mobile homes. "This standard is approved for testing and certification of vehicle battery adaptors for use within recreational vehicles and mobile homes." I think the only other requirement is for the Wireless Operators (ATT and VZW) if the product is supplied with a mobile device for IEEE 1725 (CTIA).

For past chargers we required the following for North America UL Listing to UL2089 CSA Approval to: CSA Technical Information Letter No.I-35, in addition to one or more of the following: CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 107.1, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 107.2. CAN/CSC22.2 No.223. Our vendor recommended CB approval to IEC60950. And for EMC the e-mark is required from what I understand. Questions 1. Does anyone have an opinion if the UL and CSA approvals are legally required or just good to haves? 2. For the EU are there any safety approvals required or again is a CB report just a nice to have. I ask as I am getting push back here about having to get the approvals and I have made my case why it makes sense, from a liability point of view, to have approvals but it would be helpful to know if these types of devices must have Safety certifications. Thanks in advance and I look forward to opinions……..
