UL basically certifies that electrical things will FAIL safely, and could

EPA certification with UL.

Yeah, maybe they are - although the interesting thing is that we called
around ten different insurance companies, and UL approval was what they
*all* asked about. Maybe it's some odd competitive thing and they're all
watching what each other is ofering - once one of 'em mistakenly puts UL
approval as a requirement in their policies all the others automatically
follow without really checking facts first...
