CE listings

[kilowat39]

I'm starting a new contract soon and my general contractor wants to use CE listed materials. Not all but some! I've used them before but in small quantities, are there any guidelines that I need to follow when checking them out against UL? Will I potentially hurt myself by rework if I use some CE listed materials instead of UL? I know that UL is not the only one but I just want to be sure before I give him the green light to purchase the material. Thanks for the help.

CE means nothing (in the US).
Its not an approved listing to use in the US. I suspec if you go to the UL website you can find out what the CE is and what it is not.

It is no problem to build your whole site with CSA approved products as long as the have the proper mark.

CSA is a NRTL and will test products with the US standards and mark it with the US marking. Check out their web site for more information.
