CE MARKING

 CE stands for Conformitée Européenne, which, translated literally, means “European Conformity”. A product
bearing the CE Marking accompanied with the right formalities can be traded in every country of the European
Economic Area.

 The European Economic Area (EEA) is formed by the fifteen Member States of the European Union (EU), viz:
Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands,
Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom as well as Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein (members of the
European Free Trade Association (EFTA)).

 Products with a relatively low risk, the producer himself may declare that the product meets the essential
requirements of the corresponding directive. This process is called the internal manufacturing inspection. This
situation involves a process of self-certification and the importer meets his responsibility by drawing up the EC
declaration of conformity and affixing the CE Marking to the product.

Products with a higher risk have to be audited by an external inspection body (Notified Body). The European
Commission has developed several standard modules for these procedures to audit these products for oneself or
to have them audited. These procedures are officially known as conformity assessment procedures.

 Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories
NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED TESTING LABORATORIES

What is the definition and role of a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL)?
• OSHA seeks to prevent accidents through assuring the safety of products used by
US workers. NRTLs are private sector organizations that are recognized by OSHA to
perform this safety assurance.
• OSHA recognizes testing organization’s capabilities to test and certify specific types
of products for safety.

History of the NRTL Program

• When first adopted, OSHA regulations gave two examples of approval
organizations: Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and Factory Mutual Research
Corporation (FMRC).
• In 1983, OSHA was ordered by a court to remove the specific references to UL and
FMRC in a successful lawsuit brought by a private lab. In 1988, OSHA revised its
regulations to remove the references, and established the NRTL Program to
recognize other organizations.

own proprietary certification mark.

What’s the difference between the marks?

• All marks demonstrate the product has met the minimum
requirements of product safety standards.

• The real difference is the service level and the scope of

accreditations and services provided by the NRTL behind
the certification mark.

ETL LISTING MARK

ETL RECOGNITION
ETL CLASSIFICATION
ETL LPC
ETL FILED LABELLING
ETL LISTING
• It is a proof of full testing and a compliance to NA Safety
standards.
• Once certified, product is listed on ETL Listing Directory for
verification by authorities and other stake holders.
• Allows manufacturer to continuously label production
• Requires quarterly follow-up inspection
• Good for volume production
• Testing can occur at Intertek lab or at factory

www.intertek.com 25
 ETL RECOGNITION

 Applicable for components or products used for use in

other products.

 Not placed into market / Not for users use directly.

 Conditions of compliance rely on proper component

installation in end products.
 Allows manufacturer to continuously label production
 Requires quarterly follow-up inspection
 Testing can occur at Intertek lab or at factory

www.intertek.com 26
 ETL CLASSIFICATION
• Compliance to certain aspects of standard while not
evaluating other aspects
• Case 1: Medical product that meets the safety
requirements (but performance is not evaluated which is
equally important for end user)
• Case 2: Electrical safety, but not physiological effects or
treatment effectiveness
• Allows manufacturer to label production (with known risk or
understanding allowed by authorities)
• Requires quarterly follow-up inspection

• Testing can occur at Intertek lab or at factory

www.intertek.com 27
LIMITED PRODUCT CERTIFICATION (LPC)

• LPC, applies when one or only a few pieces of the equipment

are manufactured or produced.
• Evaluation may be performed at manufacturing location or an
Intertek laboratory.
• No follow-up required.
• ETL LPC label is attached and the product can be sold anywhere
in the United States and Canada.
• Certification marks applied by Intertek personnel, or by the
manufacturer at the point of final assembly
• ISO 9001 registered manufacturer
• Existing manufacturer under follow-up services
• Existing manufacturer not under follow-up services after a
successful factory audit is performed.
www.intertek.com 28
WHEN LPC PREFERRED?

• Quantity one to several hundred with specific time period.

• Production is scheduled within a contiguous three-month
period.
• A limited "market test" run of a product that would normally
be mass-produced later.
• The product is unlisted or refurbished
• A significant modification to a listed product will be made on
a specific number of units.
• LPC not allowed where no published or draft standard exists.

www.intertek.com 29
FIELD LABELING (USA)
• Field labelling allows for on-site product compliance
evaluation.
• In some cases, a product may not have been listed due to error
and an urgent certification is required in time for product
installation.
• Capital Good which can run only after erecting . - that product
may not be operated until all applicable product safety
requirements have been met.
• Labelling is conducted only at installation location (preliminary
inspection may occur anywhere)
• Evaluation required for each product/ unit.
• No follow-up service surveillance

CANADIAN SPECIAL INSPECTION
CANADIAN SPECIAL INSPECTION
• Canadian National Model Code SPE-1000 (electrical
equipment) or
• SPE -3000 (medical Equipments)
• Products found to comply are labelled on the spot with the
ETL Mark.
• Evaluation and labelling can occur at factory, Intertek lab,
distributor, or final use site
• Faster than listing, but with reoccurring cost per unit
• Evaluation required for each product by engineer
• No follow-up service surveillance
