More Introduction
1. Introduction to ETL Certification
ETL is the abbreviation of Electrical Testing Laboratories in the United States. It was founded by Thomas Edison in 1896 and is an NRTL (Nationally Accredited Laboratory) accredited by OSHA (Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration). After more than 100 years, the ETL logo has been widely recognized and accepted by major retailers in North America, and enjoys the same high reputation as UL. The North American market has the most advanced and perfect testing standards for products, and higher requirements for product testing and certification. ETL inspection mark Any electrical, mechanical or electromechanical product with the ETL inspection mark indicates that it has been tested and complies with relevant industry standards. In order to seize the US market, Chinese electrical and electronic products must overcome the constraints of these tests and standards.

5. ETL certification process
1. Quote;
2. Arrange the payment of relevant funds to be completed;
3. Provide application forms, materials, and test samples;
4. Test, confirm the report;
5. Approved and obtained NOA/NOC;
6. NOA can use the UL mark to ship directly, and NOC can use the UL mark to ship after the first factory inspection.
6. ETL certified factory inspection
Factory inspections are required before ETL is issued, and after that, irregular follow-up factory inspections will be carried out every quarter.
