Product safety certification for active cable equipment
Product safety certification for active cable equipment
(OP)
thread244-37346: FCC, UL, CE certifications
Hello,
My firm wants to introduce its products to US market (currently we sell our products in Europe).
I have a question regarding product safety certification. I read OSHA web page and I still have some doubts.
OSHA states that there are some products that need to be tested by NRTL :

point 1:
# Electrical conductors or equipment
Does it mean that all product that have any electrical conductors or parts have to be tested by NRTL? (for example our product has its own PSU - does it fall into this category? - 29 CFR : 1910.302 - 308)
There is also a list called : List of Test Standards Recognized.
If my product pass a certification for its proper standard (for example ANSI/UL 60950) does it mean that it comply with all the product safety requirements defined by OSHA? (in 29 CFR : 1910.303 and others if applicable)
I would be very grateful for response

RE: Product safety certification for active cable equipment
You can also check out the NEC (National Electric Code, or NFPA 70) for requirements for cabling. In short, I believe most cabling needs to be certified as a Recognized Component, but I'm no expert in this area.
