What is cETLus certification and whether it meets the requirements of the United States and Canada.
cETLus is a product safety label in North America that indicates that the product meets both the safety requirements of the United States and Canada. Among them, c represents Canada and us represents the United States. Similar to this certification label are cULus, cTUVus, and cMETus, all of which represent that the product is allowed to enter both the US and Canadian markets for sale. The ETL in the middle is the symbol of the international authoritative certification body INTERTEK (ITS).
ETL is the abbreviation for Electronic Testing Laboratories in the United States. The ETL laboratory was founded by American inventor Edison in 1896 and enjoys a high reputation in the United States and around the world.
Like UL and CSA, ETL can test and issue ETL certification marks according to UL standards or US standards, or can also test and issue composite certification marks according to UL standards or US standards and CSA standards or Canadian standards at the same time. The lower right representation is applicable to the United States, the lower left representation is applicable to Canada, and both are applicable if both are present.
Any electrical, mechanical or electromechanical product bearing the ETL mark indicates that it has met the requirements of universally recognized product safety standards in the United States and Canada, and has been tested to comply with relevant product safety standards; And it also means that the production factory agrees to undergo strict regular inspections to ensure consistency in product quality, which can be sold to the markets of the United States and Canada.
ETL also requires that its production site has been inspected, and the applicant agrees to conduct regular follow-up inspections of its factory thereafter to ensure that the product always meets this requirement.
