UL and CSA are SAFETY Testing Standards ONLY. The test products to show 
that 1) they cannot start a fire and 2) they do not provide an 
opportunity for electrical shock. In the case of wiring, they also test 
for noxious fumes subjected to flames, and will not support flame spread 
(in response to the Towering Inferno, which was a very real event in a 
building). In general, UL and CSA do not test that a product works, nor 
do they test for RFI.

I agree with Mikes's suggestion of a serious survey with a mobile rig, 
and at multiple times of day. The frame of reference should a QUIET 
location. Go to that quiet location, set up and tune the mobile antennas 
(if they are tunable) write down the S-meter readings on each band for 
the relevant antenna(s). Then compare those readings with what you get 
driving around the proposed site.

In the business world, this is called "due diligence."
