I would never dare to declare U.S. compliance without testing and certify
via a NRTL. But what I am struggling with, is to gain knowledge about the
basic electrical safety laws in U.S. Maybe I do not need legally to go
through a NRTL, but that does not mean I would, even if I could.
The electrical safety legislation seems to be a bit more complicated in U.S.
compared to EU.

I read in !emc-pstc that Amund Westin am...@westin-emission.no wrote
(in lfenjlpmmjbmhpeibnilaeapckaa.am...@westin-emission.no) about 'SV:
NRTL in the U.S.' on Fri, 17 Jan 2003:
Just for a few seconds forget the customers requirements, is it
therefore a
correct interpretation that electrical equipment (ITE, household
appliances,
radio transmitters, etc) must be certified in order to follow
the U.S. laws
I think you really already had the strictly correct answer, but it's
over-complicated.
The practical answer is that it's much better to have certification than
not to have it, unless the cost of certification would make your product
uncompetitive against other, uncertified products in competition with
yours.
