America ETL
1. Introduction to U.S. ETL certification ETL is the abbreviation of Electrical Testing Laboratories (Electrical Testing Laboratories), founded by Thomas Edison in 1896, and is an NRTL (Nationally Recognized Laboratory) recognized by OSHA (Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration). After more than 100 years, the ETL mark has been widely recognized and accepted by major retailers in North America, and enjoys a high reputation like UL. Any electrical, mechanical or electromechanical product with an ETL inspection mark indicates that it has been tested and meets relevant industry standards. |
The North American market has the most advanced and complete product testing standards, and higher requirements for product testing and certification. In order to seize the American market, Chinese electronic and electrical products must overcome these testing and standard constraints.

4. ETL certification factory inspection issues
ETL certification requires factory inspection. When a company applies for ETL certification for the first time, it needs to complete factory inspection before obtaining the ETL certificate. The purpose is to ensure product consistency and the correct use of the ETL logo. After obtaining the certificate, the shipment can be arranged. Subsequent certification does not require prior inspection of the factory and then issuing the certificate. The annual ETL inspection is once a quarter, and there are a total of four factory inspections a year.
