All the "zip tie" bags i've seen are called "cable" ties. I haven't seen one that said conduit ties.jmo
Here in Austin, local code prohibits using nylon cable ties to support MC cable.

I don't think any of the support methods are required to be listed???? Except for I think - KX's, or K8's.... In suspended ceilings... And I beleive that is a UL listing for the fire rating...330.30 Securing and Supporting.
(A) General. Type MC cable shall be supported and secured by staples, cable ties, straps, hangers, or similar fittings or other approved means designed and installed so as not to damage the cable.
Approved does not alyways mean listed.
