RE: Dual names on regulatory labels
The easiest way of solving dual markings is for the OEM's information to be located on the rear label and for the private brand name and model number to be on the front of the product. The "legal" information continues to be located on the OEM's label. I know of one PC manufacturer that has done this, because I was the one that did it.

RE: Dual names on regulatory labels
My understanding to this situation with respect to the UL, FM, CSA agencies, is the True manufacturer is best to put the file number on the product label. The file number identifies the real manufacturer without showing their name. The name is available if you call the approval agency and give them the file number on the product though. Within this file, resides other names such as Company A's. They are considered what is called a "Multiple Listee". Therefore, if you have several OEM's selling your product, Each OEM's name is listed in the approval file. The act of putting the file number on the product, allows the true manufacturer not to place his/her name on the label, but instead any other name on the multiple listing. Without the File number on the product label, then the real manufacturer has to identify themselves on the product. This is my version as it relates to third party safety approvals. A great example of this is the "Opto 22 style" solid state relays (ODC5,IDC5 relays). hundreds of OEM's sell these but there are only a couple of manufacturer's of the product.

Yes, as long as the appropriate paperwork from the agencies concerned shows both company names and both model numbers in the reports. If Company B did the testing, then Company A must make arrangements with Company B to have the documentation changed accordingly. It gets trickier if Company A doesn't want any reference or mention of Company B in any of the documentation to include Company B's model numbers. For instance, FCC Part 15 Class A reports may be changed to reflect only Company A's name and model numbers. The change only requires a change to documentation fee. But, FCC Part 68 reports require a registration on the part Company A with the FCC. I think I have that correct ...

Hi Chas, >I have a question regarding dual manufacturers names >on a regulatory label. Dual maunfacturers? >From an EMC perspective: > >The situation is that Company A wishes to buy product from >Company B and resell using Company As name and model number. > In order to save time, Company A wishes to use BOTH sets of >model numbers on the SAME label as well as using company >B licence numbers etc. Having two sets of model numbers on the same label may be a bit confusing. Which model number goes with which company? Maybe the bigger question here is why on the same label? On the practical side, having a single label would force Company A or Company B to make a special label that has both company's model numbers on it. Maybe Company A could make a barcode label without having to impact Company B's label? >Is this legally acceptable?? IMO, the legal implication(s) will likely exist only with the affected safety agencies whose logos appear on the product Of course, the above is only my opinion. And, what do I know anyway?

Dual names on regulatory labels
Hello!! I have a question regarding dual manufacturers names on a regulatory label. >From an EMC perspective: The situation is that Company A wishes to buy product from Company B and resell using Company As name and model number. In order to save time, Company A wishes to use BOTH sets of model numbers on the SAME label as well as using company B licence numbers etc. Is this legally acceptable??
