It is the other way around: you can mark your product only if it's NRTL
Listed. Manufacturers are supposed to obtain Authorization to mark from an
NRTL Lab which performed safety evaluation. There's no Mutual Agreement
allowing arbitrary mark alternation: you can't use UL mark if, let's say,
you obtained Authorization from ITS (all marks were born equal but some
marks are more equal than others). Product Listing results in Follow up
Service, it is required for continuous use of the mark.

My understanding of the NRTL marking is that if you don't
mark it,
it is not considered Listed. It doesn't matter if it has been
tested or
not. I believe the issue is that if the NRTL is performing a
factory audit,
they will only review marked product. Therefore, if you do not mark
it, you
can not claim NRTL Listing.

Hello group,
I have a question concerning labeling a product. If we go to a NRTL
and get
Safety testing performed, we typically put the Safety logo (UL for
example)
on the product label. Our marketing people have a problem with
having
different logo's. They would like to standarize on a single logo
such as UL.
This kind of thinking hinders the process of getting the best price
possible. I would like to get the testing performed at a lab which
doesn't
use UL. Would it be possible to just put "Conforms to UL 1950 and
CAN/CSA
1950" on the label and forget the logo? Or is there a requirement to
have a
logo?
Thanks,
Courtland Thomas
