ETL authentication
ETL is the most dynamic security certification mark in North America. History can be traced to the electrical testing laboratory created by Thomas Edison in 1896. It has a wide range of popularity and recognition in North America. The ETL logo is the exclusive symbol of the world's leading quality and safety agency, Intertek Tianxiang group. The product representative of the ETL sign meets the North American compulsory standard and can smoothly enter the North American market.




brief introduction

[ETL SEMKO is part of Intertek TestingServices Ltd., the largest product and commodity inspection organization in the world, and has 240 laboratories and 469 offices in 93 countries in North America, Europe and Asia. ETLSEMKO provides inspection and certification for product safety, EMC detection, product performance testing, and the registration of quality management systems in a variety of industries, such as medicine, HVAC, appliances, telecommunications, aviation, automation, semiconductors, building materials, energy generation systems and so on.

Any electrical, mechanical or electromechanical product with an ETL inspection mark indicates that it has been tested to meet the relevant industry standards. Every industry has different testing standards, so the requirement for specific products must be consulted by professionals. ETL inspection marks are 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 test Lab Corp (ETL Testing Laboratories Inc). ETL's listed products are recognized by the Authorities Having Jurisdiction and can be considered "approved".




Factory inspection

ETL needs to carry out factory inspection before issuing the certificate, and then make irregular follow-up factory inspection every quarter, and pay the certificate license fee in addition to the factory inspection fee.

If necessary, the inspector can witness the retest or sampling after the product is tested in the laboratory. The licenter must sign a statutory contract with the ETL (service agreement), which clearly specifies the manufacturer's responsibility and the conditions for the use of a continuous ETL name and a ETL sign.





Application documents



There are two ways to obtain ETL certificate up to 2013, one is through CB test report transfer, can also apply directly, the required submission documents are as follows:



1. application form

Copy of 2.CB test certificate (direct application is not required)

Copy of 3.CB test report (direct application does not need)

4. sample

5. other related test results and product data, such as: product manuals, photos, components list, etc.

(if the CB report is transferred, the difference test is required)








American Certification

ETL is the abbreviation of ElectricalTesting Laboratories. ETL Laboratory was founded by American inventor Edison in 1896 and enjoys a high reputation in the United States and around the world. As with UL and CSA, ETL can issue ETL certification marks according to the UL standard or the national standard test of the United States. It can also be issued in accordance with the UL standard or the national standard of the United States and the CSA standard or the Canadian standard test. The word "us" at the bottom right applies to the United States, the word "c" at the bottom left applies to Canada, and the words "us" and "c" at the same time apply to both countries.




Application standards

Any electrical, mechanical, or electromechanical products with ETL signs indicate that the product has reached the minimum requirements for the universally recognized safety standards for the United States and Canada. It has been tested to meet the relevant product safety standards.

ETL also requires that its production site has been tested and the applicant agrees to follow up its factory regularly to ensure that the product is always in line with the requirements.

Scope of application



The company has been tested in accordance with the relevant product safety standards, representing the production plant to agree to receive strict regular inspections in order to ensure the consistency of product quality and can be sold to the United States and Canada markets.

ETL certification is the certification required for products exported to the United States and Canada. The ETL logo indicates that the product has passed the accreditation test of NRTL and SCC Canada. ETL logo recognition has the same effect as UL or CSA logo and meets the relevant safety standards. The product has the ETL column name mark, which means that it has met the minimum requirements of product safety standards. In addition, the ETL sign indicates that the producer's production site meets a certain range of standard requirements and is taught by regular follow-up factory reviews to ensure consistency. ETL has appeared for more than 100 years. The three letters of ETL are abbreviations of the Electrical Testing Labs, founded by the inventor Mr. Edison in 1896. ETL represents innovative, influential, independent and open product testing and rich experience.

The difference between UL and ETL



1, UL and ETL both represent the products tested by the National Accreditation Test Laboratory (NRTL) and meet the corresponding safety standards. So the real difference is the service. As ETL customers, you can enjoy customized testing, testing and certification services, fast operation cycle and flexible working methods. We are creating ways to work more closely with our customers so that your products can enter the market more quickly, smoothly and efficiently.



2, ETL certification and UL certification have the same North American market access effectiveness, but ETL certification costs more than the UL certification, generally only half of the UL certification, and ETL certified product detection can be transferred through the CB test report, can save you a lot of detection costs.



3, ETL certification time is also more shorter than the UL certification, in special cases, ETL can first license, and then Factory review, for your product export to save precious time.
