Getting back to the original question - no, the POG hours are all over the place.
My latest favorite example is Electric Toothbrushes. I think it was listed as needing just over 31 hours to do. My eyebrows went way up when I saw that! It definitely did take a while: new backer paper which meant all the pegs had to come down even though they stayed mostly in the same places and new display models installed in a new fixture. So yes, it took me a while, especially to get the booger old display fixtures removed, but it was more like 4 hours, maybe less.
It goes the other way too. A couple transitions ago I looked at Liquid Hand Soap, allotted something like 2 hours maybe, and thought it didn't look too bad and I could get it done no problem. Wrong! I can't remember the details now, but it took way longer than it said. It's definitely not a hard POG to do, but so much stuff moved.
So your ETL doesn't know what they're talking about. Those numbers are just suggestions, and not even very good ones. I've been told that it depends on how many DPCIs are in the POG and a couple other factors, but it's not accurate at all.
