TIMELINE TO GET LISTED, LABELED OR CERTIFIED
This is A REALISTIC Timeline for Listing Through A National Recognized Test Laboratory (NRTL)
Like UL, TUV, ETL, Intertek... to Name a Few
Some may promise you faster turnarounds. Do not believe it!
For United States, from the time you deliver 2 to 6 samples, all documentation, drawings, BOMs, and a Purchase Order, expect to take a minimum of three months. For many clients this is a 2-3-months process alone and then for some clients it will take 2 to 4 weeks just to send a purchase order.Â
We do not see big labs providing quotes in less than 3 weeks. One quote now in process is on day 64 from a big lab. They had all data day zero.
How long will it take your team to finalize all documents? 1 week…4 weeks?
How long until you have a production sample? Now... or 3 months?
For every non-conformance report... add at least 2 to 3 weeks, for turnaround answering questions and redesign. If it is a substantial non-conformance and new product has to be produced and samples generated, restart the time clock over after the new samples are completed.
Add all of this together to get your real time to certification. Anyone telling you anything different is selling fertilizer.
