ETL has more than 100 years. ETL the 3 letters is the appliance testing laboratory in 1896 inventor created by Mr. Edison(Electrical Testing Labs) abbreviation. ETL stands for innovation, influential,independent public product testing and experience.
The ETLus logo (only us, not c): products to enter the market of security cETL mark (only C, not us): the product into the Canadian market security cETLus mark: products to enter the market and the Canadian market safety signs factory inspection of American ETL certification examination 4 times, 2 times a year in Canada; in both a year 4 times.
ETL factory inspection
ETL the need for inspection at the factory certification before, after each quarter will from time to time to follow up the factory inspection, in addition to the cost offactory inspection fee is required to pay a licence fee certificate quarterly.

1 application form
The 2.CB test certificate copy (direct application does not need to)
3.CB test report photocopy (direct application does not need to)
4 sample
5 other related test results and the data products, such as: product manuals,photos, components list etc..
(such as the CB report through the turn, need to carry on difference test)
What is the difference between UL and ETL?
UL and ETL represent the product through national recognized testing laboratory(NRTL) test, comply with the appropriate safety standards, but also represent theproducers agreed to receive regular inspection Strict, in order to ensure the consistency of product quality. So the real difference is that the service. As the ETL client, you can enjoy the tailored testing, inspection and certification services, high-efficient operation cycle and flexible modes of operation. We are creating ways of cooperation with customers to work more closely, so that yourproducts faster and more smoothly and efficiently into the market.
ETL certification and UL certification of North American market access to the same effect, but the ETL certification costs than UL certification is much lower,generally only half, UL certification and ETL certification, product testing by theCB test report can turn, can save the cost of detection many for you.
ETL certification time is much shorter than the UL certification, special circumstances, ETL can first certification, then the factory inspection, for your product exports to save valuable time.
