ETL certification is the abbreviation of ETL Testing Laboratories Inc. It was founded by Thomas Edison in 1896 and is an NRTL (Nationally Recognized Laboratory) accredited by OSHA (Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration). After more than 100 years, the ETL mark has been widely recognized and accepted by major retailers in North America, and enjoys a high reputation as UL certification. ETL inspection mark Any electrical, mechanical or electromechanical product with an ETL inspection mark indicates that it has been tested and complies with relevant industry standards.

Electronic, electrical, mechanical or electromechanical products

As long as any electrical, mechanical or electromechanical product carries the ETL mark, it indicates that the product has reached the minimum requirements of the generally recognized product safety standards of the United States and Canada. It has passed the ETL certification test and meets the relevant product safety standards. ETL certification also requires that its production site has been inspected, and the applicant agrees to conduct regular follow-up inspections to its factory thereafter to ensure that the product always meets this requirement.

ETL certification information provided

There are currently two ways to obtain an ETL certificate, one is to transfer the CB test report, and the other is to directly apply for the ETL certificate. The required materials are as follows:

1. ETL certification application form

2. Copy of CB test certificate (not required for direct application for ETL certification)

3. Copy of CB test report (not required for direct application for ETL certification)

4. ETL certification test samples (4-8)

5. Other relevant test results and product data, such as product descriptions, photos, component lists, product performance and specifications, circuit schematics, etc. (If you transfer through the CB report, you need to conduct a difference test)

Factory inspection

Before ETL certification is issued, a factory inspection is required. After that, a follow-up factory inspection will be carried out from time to time every quarter. In addition to the factory inspection fee, the fee for the certificate and license must be paid on a quarterly basis.
