The new (U.S.) OSHA NRTL directive has been essentially harmonized with ISO17025 and ISO17065, so the European (ECS) and OSHA factory and product surveillance programs are now more similar than not.
While CIG 021 covers 'routine' product tests, the ECS system is not necessarily focused on product surveillance, but more for verification and validation of factory processes. That is, the controlling document for product surveillance audits will be the CBTR and/or some internal construction document associated with the product's test-mark license. It should be noted that the CIG 022 form, which covers some generic product information, is not exactly the same for each CCA/NRTL/NB; so UL's CIG022 may have stuff not found in the TUVR CIG022 form, etc. Some of this stuff tracks the IECEE documents. Forms, OSM decisions, etc are here: http://www.enec.com/doc/second.php?group=104 Brian From: Matthew Larkin [mailto:m.lar...@samsung.com] Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2017 12:18 AM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: Re: [PSES] UL Follow Up Service vs CIG Inspection Hi Vincent The aim of both UL follow up and CIG is essentially the same to try and ensure consistency in the product from a product safety prospective. So there is no difference in the product that the certification body tested and what leaves the factory in 12+ months time etc The NRTL can chose how this is assessed to meet there and OSHA requirements.

As I am a beginner in product safety, may I know what is the differences between UL Follow Up Service (to maintain UL Markings such as UL Listed and UL Recognized) and CIG Inspection ? Does it mean that when a production line is found to be compliance after UL Follow Up Service, only a little more tasks are needed to be done for compliance during CIG Inspection and vice versa ? Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you and have a blessed 2017.
