ETL authentication
ETL refers to ETL Testing Laboratories Inc. ETL's listed products are recognized by the "Authorities Having Jurisdiction" and can be considered "approved". In most parts of the United States, approval of electrical products is mandatory.

Introduction to L ETL Certification
ETL SEMKO is part of Intertek Testing Services Ltd., the world's largest product and commodity inspection organization. ETL SEMKO provides product safety testing and certification, EMC testing, product performance testing, and registration of quality management systems in various industries such as medicine, HVAC, appliances, telecommunications, aviation, automation, semiconductor, building materials, energy generation systems, etc.
Any electrical, mechanical or electromechanical product with ETL inspection marks indicates that it has been tested to meet the relevant industry standards. Each industry has different testing standards, so the requirements for specific products must be consulted with professional staff. The wide application of ETL inspection marks in cable products shows that they have passed the relevant tests.

(1) ETL Inspection Mark Any electrical, mechanical or mechanical product with ETL Inspection Mark indicates that it has been tested to meet the relevant industry standards. Each industry has different testing standards, so the requirements for specific products must be consulted with professional staff. The wide application of ETL inspection marks in cable products shows that they have passed the relevant tests.
(2) ETL listing marks Any electrical, mechanical or electromechanical product with ETL marks indicates that it has been tested to meet the relevant product safety standards, and also represents the manufacturer's agreement to receive strict periodic inspection to ensure the consistency of product quality. The "us" in the lower right applies to the United States, the "c" in the lower left applies to Canada, and the "us" and "c" in both countries.
At present, there are two ways to obtain ETL certificate. One is to transfer the ETL certificate through CB test report or to apply directly. The required documents are as follows:
1. application form
2. Copy of CB test certificate (no need for direct application)
3. Copy of CB test report (no need for direct application)
4. sample
5. Other relevant test results and product data, such as product manuals, photos, component lists and so on.
(Differentiation testing is required if CB reports are passed)
Factory Inspection of ETL
ETL Factory Audit Details:
1. Quality Control
2. Inspection of incoming materials
3. Quality Control on Production Line
4. Production Process Control
5. Parts Consistency Control

ETL needs factory inspection before issuing the certificate, and then it will follow up the factory from time to time every quarter.
In addition to the factory inspection fee, the fee of certificate and license must be paid quarterly.
If necessary, the inspector may witness the re-test of the product or test it in the laboratory after sampling.
The licensee must sign a statutory contract (service agreement) with ETL, which clearly defines the manufacturer's responsibility and the conditions for the continuous listing of ETL and the use of ETL logo.

ETL certification is the certification required for the export of products to the United States and Canada. The ETL logo indicates that the product has passed the accreditation test of NRTL in the United States or SCC in Canada. Intertek is recognized by OSHA and SCC as a small number of licensing agencies. BORY and Intertek have established a good partnership to handle ETL certification quickly and efficiently.
ETL logo recognition has the same validity as UL or CSA logo and meets the relevant safety standards. The fact that the product has ETL listing marks means that it has met the minimum requirements of product safety standards. In addition, the ETL logo indicates that the manufacturer's production site meets the requirements of a certain range of standards and ensures consistency through regular follow-up factory reviews.
ETL US logo (only us, no c): safety logo for products entering the U.S. market; cETL logo (only c, no us): safety logo for products entering the Canadian market; cETL us logo: safety logo for products entering the U.S. market and the Canadian market; factory inspection: ETL certification in the U.S. needs to be checked four times, twice a year in Canada; four times a year for both.
