Me too, I even always question myself why I have to pay a lot of money on all of my products, either AC input or DC(less 50V) input. Sometimes, it is brand effect, sometimes it is associated with consumers' realization, sometimes it is related to country quality authority dept and so on. In all, they are for safe for human for associated electronic device.

I thought this was a good and logical question and the way I answered it was that to the best of my knowledge, OSHA requires that any products that is used in work place to be safe and to have been certified by one of the NRTL labs. Would you say that is a correct answer?
