Hi Amund: In the USA, the federal government workplace rules and most other jurisdictions require certification by a NRTL. Most certification houses are NRTL. Here is the current list of NRTLs:
https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/nrtllist.html All NRTLs are "approved" for the standards specified in their "scope of recognition" list in the NRTL web site. For Canada, see: https://canada.ul.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2018/05/Acceptance-of-Elec trical-Products-in-Canada-1.pdf http://www.scc.ca/en/accreditation/product-process-and-service-certification /directory-of-accredited-clients The first document is by UL, and may have some bias. The second is the list of accredited certification houses. stay safe, and best regards, Rich -----Original Message----- From: Amund Westin <am...@westin-emission.no> Sent: Monday, May 25, 2020 6:09 AM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] Electrical safety testing US and Canada ... Mandatory ? Sorry for bringing up this issue again, but I have lost my history for all previous IEEE mails ... I know (assume ...) that UL, CSA, FM and others are voluntary for showing compliance. But that is actually required by law in US and C? Thanks!
