Or typically the government organization, the AHJ, simply accepts the field inspection label applied by NRTL or other recognized entity. The owner/operator of the product is ultimately responsible for the inspection. I’ve never known a government organization to hire a NRTL for field inspection, unless of course the product in question is owned/operated by said government organization (which is not unusual.) In my experience as a manufacturer we will often provide for a field inspection/label of un-listed product as part of the sales agreement to the customer.
