Are power supplies for USB drive enclosures required to have UL certification?

I bought a cheap USB hard drive enclosure off eBay. It turns out that the power supply has absolutely no electrical certifications for either the US or EU (no UL, CE marks). Is electrical certification required for these power adapters (that come with USB drive enclosures)? Is it safe to use a power supply that doesn't have the electrical certification?
