ELECTRONIC TESTING LABORATORIES (ETL)

The ETL (Electronic Testing Laboratories) is another independent laboratory that tests and approves tanning equipment.

Like the UL, ETL has been around since the turn of the century. It also follows the same testing procedures as the UL. ETL also publishes a directory of listed products so manufacturers and retailers may know what products have been tested and approved.
