Courtland, When we get a product listed we only use our part number for the listing as a way to identify the product, we do not use a product name. That way so long as the part number does not change the Listing will still be valid no matter what product name is on the unit. We even put variables in the part number such as 510-1000-XXX-XX when we get the Listing. This allows us to replace the X's with any alphanumeric characters. By doing this we are able to make changes to parts that do not affect the Listing and have a unique part number for each different unit. These are typically items such as changes to SELV circuitry, painting the unit a different color, putting a customer's name and/or emblem on the unit, etc. We also have some customers that assign their own part number to our products in order to resell it. In that case we include their part number on the label under the heading of "P/N" and include our part number under the heading of "M/N" which stands for Manufacturer's Number. This satisfies the requirement of being able to identify the item by the manufacturer's part number or name.

Let's say that we get a product tested through a testing lab and get UL approval. The product name is 'ABC'. A customer comes along and wants the product name changed to 'DEF'. Nothing else has changed on the product. However, the product isn't listed with UL as 'DEF'. What has to happen is the new product name has to be added as a 'Multiple Listing/Trade name'. There is a cost associated with this action. Has anyone encountered this problem and more importantly figured a way around it?
