ETL- an accepted trademark

The legal requirement which permits testing and certification of products destined for sale in the United States is the recognition of the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), as a nationally recognized testing laboratory (Nationally Recognised Testing Laboratory – NRTL) . One of the NTRL functions is that of giving independent evaluations, verifications and certifications for any product which runs on electricity, gas or petrol.

Each NTRL has a unique trademark (for ex. ETL, CSA and UL) which demonstrates that the product in question has the minimum requirements fixed by the national safety standards, for example those established by ANSI, IEC, UL, CSA and CGA. As the listed ETL trademark is a recognized and accepted indicator of the conformity of the product to the safety/hygiene standards, the retailer, the inspectors and the local authorities unanimously accept products with the ETL listed trademark
