Has anyone actually seen, where it is written, that the new Quest motors are safety certified? I looked on the TRA site, and the combined motor list on the NAR site. These motors are not mentioned. So.... is it not official yet?

Only the motors certified are listed as certified on the Quest website.

motors not yet certified are simply not shown or listed on the Quest website.

By the way, motors are "certified" not "safety certified".

They removed the word "safety" many, many years ago.

Liability....

The certification is for performance and conforming to NFPA 1125.

Unless one is either an ATTORNEY or VERY "Sheldon-esque", NOBODY cares about the difference between a statement of "certified" vs. "safety certified".
About as worthwhile as the debate over CATO vs Cato vs Cato or the debate of rocket motor vs rocket engine.

Anything from the certifying entitites? Mfg claims don't count. Not that they are lying, but there's not even a TMT press release for these.

Fred is adding value again. Hide under the couch.

The Quest C is quite interesting as is the F67. Both are modelled after the Piester/Brown Enerjets.
