Hi Joe:
I suppose that in theory, an AHJ could go into a Wal-Mart or other retail store
and tag consumer telephone products that lack an NRTL listing, but my
impression is that few AHJ’s are that zealous.
When I first came to Oregon (1960s), Oregon had two full-time inspectors who
did just that.
Laws or rules in many jurisdictions (e.g., Los Angeles) say that non-certified
products cannot be sold or even offered for sale. One of my former employers
was cited in Los Angeles for showing a non-certified product – an engineering
sample – at an electronics show. So, the retailer is held responsible to sell
only certified products. Most retailers abide by the laws that apply to them.
Best regards,
Rich
