To get UL - you have to send SEVERAL machines to them. They run
destructive and non-destructive testing on then and test against known
documentations they have on like equipment.

Big company or tiny product - no real issue. How about taking the
first three off a line and saying bye bye - with money and time and
not see a penny. You might get cleared - you might get a list of things
to fix and re-submit.


Or you change as to what you want from UL. I worked in the explosive
environment lab in North brook. Gould submitted a motor with lead
which barely met the current requirements of the motor it did not pass
as it was a bit hot for a grain elevator environment. They did not
resubmit the motor.
