ETL Certification - Fees

Our certification fees are simplified to make your budgeting even easier. The structure of our “ETL Certification Services” now includes all quarterly services, as well as the travel costs for our Inspectors. The fees for our certification program are as follows and are assessed per Applicant and Manufacturing location correlation:

INITIAL FACTORY ASSESSMENT FEE:
$630.00 USD

QUARTERLY CERTIFICATION FEE (includes Certification, Inspection* and Travel Expenses):

*NOTE: For locations having more than quarterly Inspections, the following fees will apply for additional inspections and will be invoiced separately (includes expenses):

LABELING FEES:
There are two methods for obtaining labels, depending on how you choose to place the ETL Mark on your product:

METHOD 1: "Direct Imprint" is a label designed outside of Intertek
A $370 Direct Imprint fee will be added to the quarterly Certification Fees noted above, as this is a quarterly licensing fee for the use of our Mark on your product, label, or nameplate. All label artwork that is designed by you or another party other than Intertek, must be submitted to the Certification Department for final approval.

METHOD 2: "Separable Labels" are purchased directly from Intertek
These fees are in addition to the quarterly Certification Fees noted above, but are only ordered as needed. They do not need to be ordered quarterly.

Additional Potential Fees
Multiple Listee arrangements, if applicable, are charged a $260 quarterly Multiple Listee Report Fee (assessed per Multiple Listee per Report).

Should our Engineering Services determine there are non-certified components deemed critical in the product meeting test requirements, ongoing (annual) Component Evaluation may be required. This is determined during the Testing and Listing Development process and will be specifically noted in the Listing Report. These fees will be quoted separately (annually).

Any Administrative or Minor Technical changes to Reports by our SVN Center to address Variance/Variation items or Standard Updates may incur additional charges. These fees will be quoted separately, upon instance.

Penalty Fees:

Penalty may be incurred for misuse of the mark. Misuse or non-complying product investigations can be $2,500 for the first offense and $5,000 for the second. A third offense may result in termination of the listing.
