We often test foreign IT and communications equipment in our lab. Often it is preproduction stuff that has yet to go through the listing process but the manufacturer has asked us to test the basic functionality of the equipment to make sure it performs as required before they spend a forture on UL tests.
Recently, one of our electrical engineers insisted that all equipment be listed before installation in the lab. This is a paradoxical situation since we need to test functionality before the UL testing. Does lab equipment need to be UL'd in advance?
