Intertek is costly; however without it I cannot use your product. Canada in particularly is going through a policy change to incent energy monitoring. If I can’t get a certified sticker on the product, my clients and their electricians won’t install the devices. If you need re-price your device, I would so so. Otherwise your market is limited.
Another option is that we can partner to gain access to grant funds to cover-off your certification as you scale up manufacturing. Feel free to reach out to me directly to discuss. I was really hoping you would get UL certified.
