Steve, To further George's remarks, if you have a product that may be 'custom' or the construction is inconsistent enough to make a general 'listing' by an NRTL unfeasible (more common with industrial products/installations), you may want to consider a 'Field Evaluation' by an NRTL for the product.

Approved NRTLs can be found at: http://www.osha-slc.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html#nrtls Note that not all NRTLs are approved to test to all the standards. You can use any approved to test to the standard covering your products.

The answer was that not necessarily UL Listed, but according to the NEC they did have to be listed, labeled, certified, classified, etc., by a 3rd party. The answer went on to say that this was only applicable if the locality in which the product were to be used, and their AHJ, adhered to the NEC and that not all areas of the country adopted and adhered to the NEC. 1. Do you agree with the above responses? 2. How long has the NEC required products to be listed, labeled, certified, classified, etc.? Your comments and feedback would be appreciated.
