This thread brings up a question that I have been wondering about.

Amund's question dealt with a product that had the UL label and a file
number.  The file number was used to identify the manufacturer.  My
understanding of the response that Amund received is that this
identification is adequate

My question is:  

Does the file number need to be on the label?  Can the manufacturer
leave the file number off of the label and simply put a generic UL (or
CSA) mark on the product along with their nameplate identifying the
manufacturer, model and serial number?

If this can be done, are there any sources for pre-printed UL and/or CSA
labels?   I'd especially be interested in one with the CSA mark and the
"C  US" subscript denoting dual UL/CSA certification.  These days,
management likes using less custom parts and saving money.  Even if it's
labels :-)
