Only for the installation. Not for an 'item'. In most cases, both are required.
There are a significant number of ANSI/UL/CSA standards that exist as a principal indicator of product conformity to various electric code articles. For example - UL508A would be the guidance for product requirements, and NEC article 409 would be the installation requirements when a control panel is modified or custom built at the construction site. But be very careful with scope statments in both the NEC and the applicable safety standard.

No, to both.
