Commercial, safety of workers, under labor laws. This gets a business a whole lot of regulations for labor safety! Do we only market our products to business? (I do at this time.) Is there a specific law or regulation or anything else that says all and any products marketed to anyone in the USA has to safety marked by an NRTL?

But local AHJ's, authorities having jurisdiction, and insurance providers, etc. can require as a business item, that devices are 'approved' That 'requirement' won't change because it is not regulated by the government. Unless we want more laws! There are plenty of items available that not labelled with an NRTL mark. And a lot with counterfeit marks.

In the USA and Canada, you must get product certified by a 3rd party for product safety. No option but to drag a product to a local test house (UL, CSA ETL, etc) and wait for them to fit you in to their schedule. I'd like to see the CE mark approach used here, but unlikely to happen in this century. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ Ralph McDiarmid | Schneider Electric | Solar Business | CANADA | Regulatory Compliance Engineering From: "Pearson, John" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 08/17/2012 07:15 AM Subject: Re: [PSES] CE Marking Provoqium Hi For the sake of discussion, I would like to open up for debate the suggestion the EU process is one of the most unreasonably excessive in the world. With the exception of China and Brazil this is the one major region that imposes retrospective recertification costs due to the introduction of new Safety and EMC standards on an existing design. I would like to suggest that the dates of cessation of conformity impose a requirement to reassess (test if necessary depending on the variance to the old standard) which achieves little and costs manufacturers unnecessarily.
