The difference between ETL and UL
1. Both UL and ETL represent that the product has passed the test
of the National Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) and complies
with the corresponding safety standards.
2. ETL certification and UL certification have the same North
American market access effect, but the cost of ETL certification is
much lower than that of UL certification, generally only half of
that of UL certification. Moreover, ETL certification product
testing can be transferred through CB test reports, which can Save
you a lot of testing costs.
3. ETL certification time is also much shorter than UL
certification. Under special circumstances, ETL can issue the
certificate first and then conduct factory inspection, saving
valuable time for the export of your products.
4. UL is the most authoritative certification in the United States. On the other hand, UL is an American company and ITS is a British company.
