PSNet, Altho many good points have been made, UL (the 800 lb gorilla in all of this) has an established position in the component business.
Having worked with many component mfgrs over the years, this is not lost on these mfgrs (incuding their marketing folks). Component mfgrs have no control over who takes their products to which lab so must be prepared for it all. So, in spite of all the grumbling, component mfgrs will continue to use UL for the foreseeable future. That's easy for me, I've worked with UL for a long time. :>) br, Pete Peter E Perkins, PE Principal Product Safety Engineer PO Box 23427 Tigard, ORe 97281-3427 503/452-1201 fone/fax p.perk...@ieee.org - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
