I would like to know about this myself.

I worked in a ceramics product manufacturing facility, and also in a
metal door frames factory, and have seen the UL process in those
environments. I have also built my own MFT and worked with some others.
Of the former - a manufacturing environment - the UL tagging process was
compete on the job site, but the tags had to be bought from UL. To get
approval for the tags, the UL application process had to be completed
and all sorts of papers submitted and fees - some quite large - paid to
UL. For the constructed-on-site MFT's I never saw anyone get any UL
approval. And I think that remains the case. It will remain a pretty
pricey adventure to get a one time approval.

The best bet is to pay a visit to the UL website - http://www.ul.com/
for a beginning understanding, and even maybe a phone call to the lab
with specific questions.

Regards.

Kim,

To the best of my knowledge, getting a UL label is a long and arduous task
but more than anything very expensive. If my memory serves me correctly,
the costs range in the $100,000.000 or more.
