You would need to make sure that the output of the power supply is a Limited Power Source in order to deal with fire hazards. The nameplate output ratings are necessary but insufficient information to determine if a fire hazard may be present. Also, it is possible that your regulators (maybe

In America, a few years ago at Lucent, we built a DSL device that was remotely powered by a separate power supply with a NEC ANSI/NFPA 70 Class 2 DC output. The power supply had a NRTL safety marking, and as you suggest, the DSL device itself did not carry a NRTL safety mark, only EMC and Fcc

If the product powered from a certified SELV, power limited supply will be used or installed in a workplace in the US, then it is subject to OSHA NRTL approval requirements and the mixer would be required to be certified by an NRTL. OSHA regulations do not provide an exception to the approval

Doug, In a previous life in the semiconductor and related industries the Japanese customers were satisfied with reports by a 3rd party, not certifications, to IEC/EN 60204-1 and IEC/EN 61010-1, as each is appropriate for the product, US NFPA 79, ISO 10218-1 for robots, and ANSI/RIA 15.06, which

Do not necessarily disagree, but there are some problems. Am guessing that this is referencing 29CFR1910.303. Also have this excerpt from an OSHA memo in my database: The testing standard will typically specify how the product is to be marked or labeled and what instructions for installation
