> It’s not a massive problem, but I do only have one 65W USB-C supply coming into workbench. I want more, I want much much more! >There don’t seem to be any powered USB-C hubs, so I went shopping on AliExpress and eventually came across this nice board: Are they UL listed? With that kind of watts, seems like they are capable of starting a fire and burning down your home if not properly designed, manufactured, tested, etc.

No, but workbench stuff like this would be powered on when you're actively there and working on something, so if it did go pop and potentially catch fire at least you're nearby.

  Both soldering irons and multimeters, tools typically used on workbenches have time out/auto off features because EE work is performed by fallible humans that accidentally leave things plugged in and turned on when not actively monitoring things. Sometimes even intentionally, to test things like battery discharge rates.
