The ETL Listed Mark, issued by Intertek, is a nationally recognized safety certification in the United States and Canada. For cables, it demonstrates rigorous compliance with applicable ANSI/UL standards, ensuring products are safe for their intended use. For distributors, sourcing ETL certified cables means you are supplying products that meet the safety benchmarks required by electrical inspectors, contractors, and major retailers, providing a reliable and often cost-effective alternative to other certification marks without compromising on safety or market acceptance.

Is an ETL certification equivalent to a UL certification for cables in the USA?
Yes, for safety compliance. Both the ETL Mark (by Intertek) and the UL Mark are Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) certifications approved by OSHA. Cables bearing the ETL Listed Mark are legally accepted as meeting the same applicable ANSI/UL safety standards as UL-listed products for installation under the National Electrical Code (NEC).
What documentation do you provide to verify ETL certification for customs and contractors?
We provide the official ETL Listing report and can direct you to the online listing in Intertek's directory. Our cables are also marked with the ETL logo and unique control number, which is the physical proof required on the product itself for inspection and approval.
Can you supply cables with both ETL and UL certifications?
Yes. Many of our core cable constructions are submitted for and achieve dual certification. We clearly indicate the certification status (ETL, UL, or both) for each product, allowing you to choose the best option for your customers' specific requirements or preferences.
Do you offer custom printing or packaging for ETL listed cables?
Absolutely. We offer private labeling, custom printing on the cable jacket (within standard compliance guidelines), and tailored packaging to support your brand in the local market.
How do you ensure ongoing compliance of your ETL listed products?
As the listed manufacturer, we participate in Intertek's Follow-Up Services program. This includes regular factory inspections and product testing to ensure continued compliance with the standard, protecting the integrity of the certification for our distributors.
What is your lead time and shipping process for orders destined for North America?
We have extensive experience shipping to major U.S. and Canadian ports and distribution centers. Lead times vary by product and quantity, but we prioritize North American orders and ensure all shipping documentation, including ETL certification details, is accurate for smooth logistics.
