UL and/or CSA certification are mandatory within the electrical safety area, to have access to the US and Canadian marked. Right ? I know there are some differences between them, the certification fee, the certification-handling period and the number of audit/year. My questions are: 1.Do they have the same status? Peter: Yes, to a certain extent. You must check the scope of their acceditations in OSHA's and Standard Council of Canada's websites. 2.What requirements do the end users/ buyers have, do most of them prefer one of the approvals? Peter: Depends on the categories. But most end-users are not aware that other NRTLs are capable of giving the same Listing service. You must educate them. 3.Do we have to go for both of them? Peter: One is enough, but as I said above, you must educate end-users to accept and also check if the test house is accredited for the particular standards.
