Hi Ron: It appears that most of these laws are targeted at electrical consumer products used in the home, not always a business or place of work. Therefore, this goes to show that many product families are not identified in these laws and they are not mandated to be NRTL listed unless you expect to use a Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer in your kitchen or living room.
The electrical codes under which certification is required apply to EVERYTHING electrical. Indeed the primary focus of electrical codes is for the wire, boxes, circuit-breakers, etc., that are used in building construction. These are required to be certified. "Consumer products" or, more generally, utilization equipment, is just a small portion of the stuff that is covered by electrical code certification requirement.
