strictly enforced? (which is a much larger list than where it is
required.) Where can you get away without a NRTL mark? That depends in
part on the product, the market, and the distribution scheme.

This is probably true when an electrician is involved in a product

not require an electrician to install. They are either installed by the

Hello Gregg,
Martin is correct that NRTL Listing is not a requirement to sell
electronic products in the U.S. Product usage is something entirely
different and may require compliance under OSHA regulations.

The truth is that an independent licensed electrician will not connect a
product that is not Listed.
In commercial or industrial environments, there may be a Licensed
Professional Engineer on staff, who can approve a product but he takes the
personal liability for Non-Listed products.
