Perhaps. But my experience has been refusal of any reasonable carrier to write a policy for an institution where equipment does not meet code or does not bear the mark of an NRTL. The exception for exposure to unsafe and/or non-certified equipment typically used for engineering labs is found in 29CFR1910.333, and other places.
My employer's carrier, in last annual audit, noted that my product safety lab would require lockable doors or some form of controlled access for further coverage, as the area is "inherently unsafe". Was beaming with pride at that declaration.

Example, a hospital will need to pay lower public liability insurance premium if it can show that all its medical equipment meet UL 60601 with UL marking and approved / cleared by FDA. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you very much.
