Danny, this is an off the cuff reply, with no references to back it up, but my
understanding is that a NOM mark is required of all ITE equipment. UL, CSA, CE,
etc will not satisfy that requirement.
The NOM mark can only be obtained by someone in Mexico making the submittal.
This can be an agent.
UL has advertised that they can assist in obtaining the NOM mark. How far they
can go I don't know, but they certainly should be able to answer questions.
The last I heard (about a year ago) Mexico was using UL 478 (5th edition
probably) rather than UL 1950.
Lastly, my understanding was that they could (or would) confiscate any imports
at the border if it did not have the NOM mark.
It will be interesting to hear from others on this news group with
authoritative answers.

Hello Group;
Can anyone tell me the requirements for ITE in Mexico. My company
attains UL, CSA, NEMKO, and CE on all products offered for sale, is this
enough to satisfy the "NOM" . Does anyone have a contact name and/or

Regards;
