OSHA's NRTL program specifically does not address "acceptance of marks" between accredited NRTLs, and mutual acceptance is not determined by the US federal government.
NRTLs are not necessarily required to accept the other's test report, nor are they required to accept another's FUS audit report. Local governments in Canada seem to be allowed to specify certain 'agency' marks. US Federal courts and US Federal executive policies have said that local US governments shall accept the mark of any accredited NRTL.

UL and CSA are testing/certification organizations authorized by governments in the US and Canada to conduct tests and issue approval marks. Acceptance of marks is determined by governments. ULc mark does not guarantee automatic accepted in all jurisdictions in Canada. Same applies to US, CSAus mark does not guarantee automatic accepted in all jurisdictions in the US. Local governments sometimes have their own preferences.
