Microsoft Word - 13608_48002 Adding more fuel to the fire, some AHJs demonstrate a preference for certain NRTLs, meaning they place more credence in some NRTLs certifications over others. This will not necessarily be found in writing.
If a product is a relatively new technology in a field, some AHJs question the NRTL’s work, the intent and meaning of standards applicable to a product, and pull requirements from out of scope standards and insist they apply. This thread makes the memory of the recent thread on Orgalime whiningwriting a letter about component certifications all the more hilarious amusing. Regards, Peter L.

So while there maybe no state requirements there are AHJs (City, County,…) requirements for devices to have an NTRL mark.
