Hi Chris, I first would ask way do you need the label?
If it is to validate the process, then any label you purchase would be ok. If it is proof that a required safety test was preformed on a product for protection during litigation it is any entirely different matter. Here at the Design Validation Unit of Agilent we had required the person performing the hi-pot test to complete the safety portion of the paper work immediately after the hi-pot test. This paper work was then archived for very long time as dictated in our records retention policy, in our case 35 years. This became quite a burden. For an alternative we started stamping our products with a rubber stamp using an ink that was very tenacious. Now if we need proof of a safety test during litigation the product its self is the proof.

Ok, so there is no such thing as a standard UL, CSA ... label that can be purchased. Although the logos are available on the website, the labels have to be "re-invented" for every company (yawn). Seems like a waste of time to me.. but in these days of layoffs... I guess every excuse for employment is OK. How about the little "Hi-Pot OK" labels that I have seen? I would assume that these are widely used. Any sources for these? Or do we have to go to a print shop and pay a tooling charge to make our own (what a waste)?
