Have you tried asking them for a certificate for the material they use?

Do you make a specific area for them to put the UL mark on the PCB
silkscreen and indicate this in your documentation? I do recall leaving
an area specifically marked in the supplied documentation as being for
"manufacturer production trace information" or words to similar effect
which was never a problem with manufacturers we used - but they were
used to the requirement as it was required as part of their ESA
certification :)
