The laboratories are called "NRTL - Nationaly Racognized Testing Labratories". This accreditation is provided by OSHA and a list is maintained at there website http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html#nrtls Based the qualifications and expertise, each NRTL is assigned a scope of accrditaiton that includes the standards that they could provide Listings to. If you were to visit the OSHA web site and look under the scope of accreditaiton, both UL and Intertek (ETL) are accedited for UL 1703 standard. There are other NRTLs on the list, but there scope does not include UL1703 standard for PV Module Listings.
