In my many years of doing electrical work and installing a wide variety of
electrical equipment, I have run into this issue numerous times. Due to the
vigilant marketing by UL labs, most electrical inspectors are usually
looking for that label. However, I have had reasonable success in getting
them to accept CE an ETL once I bring up the point that they are recognized
alternatives to UL. Education is the key, of course.
