TUVAM's notification to each affected client also must inform the client that it must now obtain its product-certification services, with respect to UL 551, UL 1484, and UL 1662, from an NRTL with a scope of recognition that continues to include these standards. TUVAM's notification to each affected client must be in writing and received by the client within two weeks of the date of this notice. II.
