I have run into this a lot: I don't have any specific example part numbers saved, but often I will be given a datasheet that claims certification with a certain NRTL standard but I can't validate it online. When asked, the manufacturer either says they dropped that certification, or it applied

2017-09-21 Thread Regan Arndt
Greetings everyone, My experience in regulatory compliance dates back to 1994 where it was a foregone conclusion that most component manufacturers did not identify their agency certification as a unique identifier in their part number. I have seen some good progress over the years, but I also

Hi Dave, It would be wrong of me to comment on this, as I would effectively be saying “I think Michael was correct during the TCB Council training” :) But, I just want to confirm that nothing significant has changed since May on this topic, and so my presentation still applies, in my

Hello Rob, If you are a current customer of UL, you can access the National Differences to IEC standards through the UL Standards Certification Customer Library at http://www.ulstandards.com/. If you don't have access to that site, you may need to find out who is the UL "gatekeeper" at your
