Markings and standards
A surface legend, a reel-tag Listing Mark and a materials table serve different purposes. UL explains that complete certification identification can require the reel, coil, tag or carton—not just letters printed on the cable. Capture all available evidence before assigning a rating or label to a lot.
Submit cable detailsMake the next decision with evidence
Record the exact type, voltage and location text, preserve the package label, and match the manufacturer’s current documentation. Write “not verified” when evidence is missing.
This is identification guidance, not an installation, legal-compliance or product-acceptance determination.
Focused guides
Read the whole cable rating, not just one letter
Use UL’s cable-marking guide to distinguish type, voltage and wet/dry wording from insulation-material properties and an offered reel’s condition.
Technical guideA printed UL symbol is not the full listing mark
Learn where UL says a complete wire/cable Listing Mark appears and why AWM component marking or surface letters alone do not certify a surplus lot.
