> Source: https://deviationcheck.com/divisions/26-electrical/missing-certification/

A required listing, test report, certification, or compliance document is absent from the submittal package.

## What to look for in Division 26 Electrical

Required certifications in electrical submittals:
- **UL listing** (or ETL/CSA equivalent) - required for nearly all electrical equipment; absence is always a blocker
- **NEMA standards compliance** (NEMA 1-13 for enclosures, NEMA MG-1 for motors)
- **NEC (NFPA 70) compliance** statement
- **IEEE test reports** (C57 for transformers, 1584 for arc flash)
- **DLC (DesignLights Consortium)** qualification for commercial lighting
- **Energy Star** certification where spec requires
- **Buy America / Buy American** compliance (federal/state funded projects)
- **Seismic certification** (IBC, OSHPD for California hospitals) for equipment anchorage
- **ASHRAE 90.1** compliance documentation for energy-consuming equipment
- **Short-circuit and coordination study** data sheets
- **Factory test reports** for switchgear, generators, UPS systems

## Severity

Default grade: Fix and Resubmit. Escalates to Blocker when the missing document is a code or life-safety requirement (UL listing, fire rating).
