Was much legal wrangling in past decades where you could only go to FM or UL, but the courts have, in fact, blessed most of the agency shenanigans, typically due to component tracibility requirements per the OSHA NRTL and Canada SCC Accreditation Services programs. There is no mutual recognition requirement among NRTLs, but some individual agencies have had MRAs for some stuff.
