That's an interesting question. I've noticed that marine stores sell
a lot of twist-lock adapters and the "odd" configurations (like 30A male
with 15A female) are not UL listed (or say something like "made with
UL-listed parts) while the matched amperage ones have the UL hologram.
So maybe the answer is that UL covers this, but nothing stops people
from selling, buying, and using adapters that UL won't list.

Why would the lack of a UL rating stop people from selling something? UL
isn't the government.
