    Watch a few episodes of Dragon's Den and observe what the pros look out for in new ideas/inventions.

    I noticed the first thing they consider is how fast can they get a return on investment, how big is the market, is there competition, is the idea/concept solid, is the "first impression" about the product positive, does the product already have a customer base, what is the potential growth, does the inventor know what he is talking about, etc.

    Anyone have an idea how much it costs to get U L Approval for an AC Mains powered device ?

    Wouldn't it depend on the complexity of the device? A lamp would be easier/cheaper than a professional grade sound mixer?

    Probably to some extent. I do not know what they test for, do they overvoltage, shake and recheck ? I do work for a test lab, they test spacecraft components, I doubt UL does the same kinds of tests they do. My device has just a simple electrical circuit, much less than say a dishwasher does. But if you expect to get business insurance you need UL approval.

    I remember Melanie and a few others got into a discussion about this subject. The topic didn't stand out to me 'cause it related to testing European standards. so I couldn't give you a good search string to look for.

    You could look under Melanie's profile and see where she posted.
