I just recently started working for a company that does a lot of contracted work. We recently had a company ask us to build them some UL certified junction boxes(in accordance to UL 50), and after navigating through the UL site for a few hours, I have a few questions about the process that someone more experienced with the process would know.
From what I gathered, this is the general process to getting UL approval.
1. Buy the standard from with UL 50 coming in at $800 or $1600.
2. Fill out the "Request a Quote" form on the UL website.
3. After receiving a quote and starting the process, talk with one of their engineers about the project.
4. Build as many samples of the item that they request for testing.
5. Receive approval and have future follow up reviews.
Is this fairly accurate? How much would steps 3-5 generally cost(in another thread someone mentioned about $5k for the CSA equivalent of this approval)?
Thank you for the help.
