Introduction to US ETL Certification
       ETL is the most dynamic safety certification mark in North America. It dates back to the electrical test laboratory created by Thomas Edison in 1896 and has a wide range of recognition and recognition in North America. The ETL logo is the exclusive mark of Intertek, the world's leading quality and safety organization. The products represented by the ETL logo meet the mandatory standards of North America and can be successfully sold in the North American market.
       Any electrical, mechanical or electromechanical product with an ETL inspection mark indicates that it has been tested to comply with relevant industry standards. Each industry has different test standards, so be sure to consult a professional for specific product requirements. The ETL inspection mark is widely used in cable products, indicating that the relevant tests have been passed.
In most parts of the United States, the approval of electrical products is mandatory. ETL refers to ETL Testing Laboratories Inc. ETL's listed products are recognized by the “Authorities Having Jurisdiction” and can be considered “approved”.

ETL certification mark

ETL certified factory inspection
       ETL needs to carry out factory inspection before issuing the certificate. After that, it will carry out the factory inspection from time to time. The fee will be paid quarterly in addition to the factory inspection fee.
       If necessary, the inspector can witness the retesting of the product or sample it and test it in the laboratory.
       The licensee must sign a statutory contract (service agreement) with the ETL, which clearly defines the manufacturer's responsibility and the conditions for the use of the continuous ETL listing and the ETL mark.
 
ETL certification application documents
       There are two ways to obtain an ETL certificate in 2013. One is to transfer through the CB test report, or you can apply directly. The required documents are as follows:
       1. Application form;
       2. Copy of CB test certificate (not required for direct application);
       3. Copy of CB test report (not required for direct application);
       4. Samples;
       5. Other relevant test results and product data, such as: product manuals, photos, component lists, etc.
       (If you pass the CB report, you need to test the difference)
 
ETL certification test project
       1) Leakage current test: The sample used for the leakage current test has not been tested before the test.
       2), normal temperature rise: test test method: thermocouple: standard requirements use 24-30AWG thermocouple, (currently used in laboratory 30AWG)
       3), leakage current test after the tide: general test conditions: T = 32 +/- 2 ° C, RH = 88 ± 2%. Duration: 48 hours after completion, take the leakage current test test conditions T = 20 ~ 30 °C, RH=93+/-3%
       4) Withstand voltage test: Generally required for double insulation and grounding products: 1000 V / 1 minute (the device target voltage climb time is set to 5 seconds, the cutoff current is set to 8.3 mA, and then kept at the target voltage for 1 minute)
 
The difference between ETL certification and UL certification
       Both UL and ETL represent products that pass the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) and meet the appropriate safety standards. So the real difference lies in the service. As an ETL customer, you can enjoy tailor-made testing, inspection and certification services, fast cycle times and flexible working methods. We are creating a more collaborative approach to working with our customers so that your products can enter the market faster, smoother and more efficiently.
       ETL certification and UL certification have the same North American market access efficiency, but ETL certification costs are much lower than UL certification, generally only half of UL certification, and ETL certified product testing can be transferred through CB test report, can be for you Save a lot of testing costs.
       ETL certification time is also much shorter than UL certification. In special cases, ETL can issue certificates first, then conduct factory inspections to save valuable time for the export of your products.
 
Shenzhen ETL certification agency
      As a professional third-party testing agency and ETL certification agency, Baocheng Testing (POCE) not only has independent laboratories and a group of experienced ETL certified engineers, but also provides a full range of ETL certification services for customers. The company has signed mutual recognition agreements with a number of countries, and the reports (or certificates) issued by them comply with US testing standards and eliminate barriers to export trade of your products.
