Any electrical, mechanical, or electromechanical product bearing the ETL inspection mark indicates that it has been tested to meet the relevant industry standards. ETL certification is less expensive than UL certification and has a shorter application time. The scope of control includes audio, lamps, home appliances, adapters, connectors, information products, power tools, test instruments, etc.

4. UL standard test report.

The UL test report is based on the product selection of the corresponding UL standard for testing, and then the qualified test report is issued. The cost is low, the cycle is short, and there is no need to audit the factory. It can be used for Amazon audit, and customs clearance is invalid. The UL report is mainly for Amazon electronic products uploaded to Amazon for sale, and the requirements must be met to obtain an UL test report before they can be sold on Amazon.
