Normally, if UL finds something wrong during an inspection, they just send
a letter telling you to fix it.  There's no fine or penalty for that.
However, if UL discovers that you are a total screwup, to the point they
start wondering whether you can still meet their standards, they can
schedule another inspection to see how you're doing.  If they do, you get
to pay the costs of the additional inspection visit.  I'm not sure exactly
what criteria they use to decide whether to reinspect a company, never
having been in that situation myself.
