Are aftermarket power cords required to be UL / CE approved?

Lots of folks are making and selling aftermarket power cords. In the US are these cords required to be UL or CE approved?

 Wondering about the ramifications of using unapproved cords. Am I liable if someone gets shocked, could my home owners policy deny a claim if they determine a non approved cord started a fire?

Talk about paranoia...I used this PC for a few yearshttps://www.mapleshaderecords.com/audioproducts/powercord_prev.php

Scary looking, but it did what any aftermarket PC is supposed to do.
Speaking to sales person, he said Pierre uses them WITHOUT the candy wrapper!
I would imagine if the adjuster found the charred remains of something like this, NO CHECK FOR YOU!

Live on the edge!
