I certainly question the need for multiple OSHA NRTL marks on a product when they should all represent the same thing. I don't do it for my products. I expect no getting around multiple marks each meeting the needs for different markets served if the marks are in fact required.

Methinks the days of having multiple agency marks on our stuff are ending. The remaining agency mark(s) will be those whose services actually add value to my employer's products. The compliance engineering community should push back. No longer view many compliance agencies as being part of a sustainable and rational economic model.
