ETL Mark / Certificate: What It Is

How to Obtain an ETL Mark / Certificate

The ETL mark runs through the following stages:

• Application: Sistem Patent Kalite files the ETL application on your behalf. The application identifies the product and the standards it needs to be tested against.
• Product testing: the product is tested across safety and conformity parameters. The test panel is set against the applicable standards to confirm the product meets the requirements.
• Certification: once the product passes the test panel, the ETL mark or certificate is issued, confirming that the product is safe and conforms to the referenced standards.

Which Products Does ETL Cover?

ETL certification covers a broad range of product groups, including lighting, household appliances, powered hand tools, IT products, medical equipment, toys, construction products, industrial equipment, and equipment for hazardous environments. A scope review will confirm whether your specific product falls within ETL scope and which standards apply.

ETL Mark / Certificate Fees

Fees depend on the product category, the test panel required, and the number of models within scope. Ask for a quote once the scope is confirmed.
