Yes, there is a transistion period. Apparently, until January 2004
you can choose to use ammendment 14 or not.

Yes, there is a reason.
There is a "Toy Directive" which (I'm on unfamiliar ground here) deals
mostly with child safety. As such, some really passive hunks of plastic
(i.e. "Barbie" Dolls (and "Ken" Dolls, for gender equality) come with CE
marks on them. When it comes to children, any piece of
There are a number of CE marking directives including 88/378/EEC Toy
Safety. Before toys may be shipped into Europe they must be tested for
safety and marked with the CE mark if they comply. The relevant standard
is EN 71, Safety of Toys; Specification for Mechanical and Physical
Properties. E

Multiple Listing can also be done. The only advantage under that scheme
beyond the one listed below. Is that none of the paperwork or the id number
ever refers to the OEM. It really looks like the multiple Listee is the
designer manufacturer. It costs a few hundred to do so, but some clients

If Customer 'DEF' doesn't mind your file number on the Listing label you can
ask UL to use your file number instead of your company's name to identify
the manufacturer. It is a minor report revision that UL has done many times
before. It saves the trouble and time of going through the

I haven't seen it yet. Normally, when new requirements are published there
is a DOW for existing requirements. Isn't it typically about 4 years? If

When systems are tested using these techniques, make sure the latest
version of EN61000-3-2 is used, incorporating Ammendment 14.
Previously, simple techniques could be used to modify the input

Courtland,
When we get a product listed we only use our part number for the listing as
a way to identify the product, we do not use a product name. That way so
long as the part number does not change the Listing will still be valid no
matter what product name is on the unit. We even put variables

Courtland,
We list the product with UL under a generic Regulatory ID number. This has
many advantages. 1) We can change the model number as often as we like
without having to resubmit to UL, given that the hardware doesn't change. 2)
We can sell the product under other verndor's names without resu
Hi Courtland,
First some observations:
UL only grants rights to use UL marks. Other labs can test to UL standards,
but they would grant their own marks. UL has Listed & Recognized Component &
other certifications, but not "approval". In UL terms, Multiple Listing "ML"
is where company X (Basic L
The product displays the name of the manufacturer and the model number. The
name of the manufacturer may be changed at will without amending the UL
report if the file number is listed near the UL Listing mark. However, if
you wish to change the model number, then the UL report must be amended or a

I have a concern about Product Names with respect to the Safety Listing.

As you say, this will prevent the toll gate officials from tampering your
