L2 RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER

L2.1 General

L2.1.1 Restrict the use of markings that reference UL (either directly by use of the name, an abbreviation of it, or the UL symbol, or indirectly by means of agreed upon markings that are understood to indicate acceptance by UL) to those products specifically authorized by Underwriters Laboratories and that are found by the manufacturer’s own quality assurance program to comply with the Follow-Up Service Procedure description. The use of such markings is further limited by the agreements that have been executed by the subscriber and UL.

L2.1.2 Confine the markings referencing UL as indicated in clause L2.1.1 to the factory location or locations authorized in the Follow-Up Service Procedure.

FOLLOW-UP AND INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS (FUII)

Subject 1598 3 Issued: 11-19-08

L2.1.2.1 Maintain the Follow-UP Service procedure at the authorized factory location and confine the application of Listing Marks to the authorized product category.

L2.1.3During hours in which the factory is in operation, permit the Field Representative unrestricted access to any portion of the premises where the product or components thereof are being fabricated, processed, finished, or stored, and to the test area when testing is required in this document. The Field Representative shall be permitted to inspect and witness prescribed tests, prior to shipment, on any product bearing or intended to bear markings referencing UL as indicated in clause L2.1.1. If product disassembly is required, it shall be undertaken by the manufacturer. Tests required, as part of this Procedure, shall be conducted by the manufacturer.

L2.1.4Provide, at a convenient location, all required test equipment and facilities, and any required personnel for conducting all tests and product disassembly that are to be performed at the manufacturer’s facilities. These shall be available when needed so that the inspection work can proceed without undue delay.

Unless indicated otherwise in the Procedure, the information to be recorded shall include the model or catalog number, identification of the product, the test conducted, the test date, and the results. The record for a specific lot or group of products may consist only of a statement, without specific details, that the entire lot or group was tested and found acceptable. Generally, a form record sheet should be used to assist in and expedite the record-keeping task. Records shall be retained for at least six months and shall be readily available for review by the Field Representative. Note: It is not necessary to keep complete test records when 100% of production is tested, if the manufacturer has an auditable system in place to confirm that production is always subjected to the required tests. Instead, exception reports indicating noncompliance and corrective action should be retained.

L2.1.6 Determine that all test and measuring instruments required as part of the Follow-Up Services Procedure or used by UL Field Representatives in the conduct of inspection activity at the factory are calibrated in accordance with UL’s published calibration requirements for manufacturers. The published document is titled, “UL Calibration Requirements: Equipment Used for UL/C-UL/ULC Mark Follow-Up Services”, and is available on UL’s website at the following address, "https://www.wendangku.net/doc/555745932.html,/fieldservices/requirements.html". Manufacturers that do not have internet access may obtain the current version from their local UL Customer Service representative in the same manner as other requests for requirements.

L2.1.7A product that is found to no longer be in compliance with the requirements of Underwriters Laboratories shall be brought into compliance by the manufacturer if the Listing Mark is to be used on the product. If the noncompliance was the result of a manufacturing or testing process, the manufacturer shall check subsequent production until it is certain that the process or test method has been corrected and noncompliance will not recur.

FOLLOW-UP AND INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS (FUII)

Subject 1598 4 Issued: 11-19-08

L2.1.8. Perform a root cause analysis of nonconforming test results reported by UL in order to determine and implement appropriate corrective actions. Upon request, the manufacturer shall submit the findings of their analysis and action plan for review and/or monitoring by UL. For those cases involving questionable test and measuring equipment, the manufacturer shall evaluate and document the effects of the equipment on previous inspections or tests. The manufacturer shall evaluate if the equipment condition could have significantly affected previous inspection or test results and take corrective action as appropriate. The equipment in question shall be removed from service by segregation or prominent labeling and marking.

L2.5 Special Constructions, Luminaire Fittings

L2.5.1 Special constructions, and all luminaire fittings and luminaire components, including posts, raceways, etc. for special use are required to be submitted to the Responsible Office for evaluation.

L2.5.2 Authorization to apply Listing Marks to luminaire components must be described in the Procedure.

L2.6 Components

L2.6.1 All components shall be Listed or Recognized or otherwise evaluated by Underwriters Laboratories for the intended application as required by the Standard. All components shall be used in an application consistent with the component evaluation.

L2.6.1.1 A Fluorescent ballast shall have a rating consistent with the application and consistent with the marking on the luminaire. Open core and coil constructions (i.e., ballasts without complete metal enclosures) are intended for use within an enclosure to prevent accessibility. Fluorescent luminaires identified for use in damp or wet locations shall use ballast marked as “Type 1”, “Type 2” or “Weatherproof” to comply with clause 13.2.1.1.

L2.6.2 A Recognized Component is permitted to be used in a luminaire if it:

1. Has been determined suitable for the application by UL Conformity Assessment

Engineering staff and included in the Procedure description; or,

2. Is included in the list of components below.

Recognized Components that do not comply with 1 or 2 above shall not be used in a General Coverage luminaire bearing a UL Listing Mark.

Acceptability of the following Recognized Components may be evaluated at the factory:

(a) Marking and Labeling Systems – A Recognized Component (PGDQ2) Marking and Labeling System (reference clause 20.1.7), shall be rated for the type of surface to which it is affixed and for a temperature of at least 150°C unless otherwise described in the product description.

(b) Appliance Wiring Material – Any Recognized Component (AVLV2) AWM complying with the conditions of use.

Subject 1598 10 Issued: 11-19-08 (c) Special-Use Switches – Recognized Component (WOYR2) special-use switches that have been investigated for compliance with the Standard for Special-Use Switches, UL 1054, shall be used within the recognized rating and conditions of use. (d) Insulating Bushing-Recognized Component (NZMT2) used for protection of conductors that pass over edges of metal.

(e) HID Ballast -Recognized Component Ballast (FLCR2) The product description of an HID luminaire may identify suitable Recognized Component ballasts in accordance with Clause 6.7.1.5 by specifying the maximum wattage, lamp type, ballast insulation system, and a ballast temperature code assigned by UL 1029 (UL Standard for High Intensity Discharge Ballast) corresponding to a maximum bench-top temperature rating.

The ballast temperature code consists of the designation "1029 X", where X is replaced by a single alphabetic identification consisting of a letter A - P. The code letters represent bench-top temperature ratings ranging from the lowest, beginning with "A", through the highest assigned rating "P".

A ballast may be used in a luminaire when the product description identifies a ballast with an equivalent or higher temperature code. Other parameters of the luminaire construction such as electrical spacing must comply with the Standard. For example: The Procedure product description states "Ballast Class 180 insulation system, marked with 1029C." The manufacturer may substitute any recognized component ballast with a Class 180 insulation system and marked with a ballast code 1029C, 1029

B or 1029A in lieu of submitting the luminaire to the Certification Organization for a temperature test.

The substitute ballast must not have a higher rated wattage or be designated for use with a different lamp type in accordance with clause 6.7.1.5. For the above example, a ballast marked 1029D represents a higher bench-top coil temperature than permitted by the product description, thus it cannot be used until it has been evaluated with acceptable results at the Responsible Office.

L2.7 Grounding and Bonding Screws

L2.7.1 A grounding and bonding screw secured to metal in accordance with Clauses 6.14.2.11 and 6.14.3.5 shall engage metal with two full threads. The minimum metal thickness to comply with the requirement for a given screw shall be determined by (1) determining the number of threads per unit measurement (Imperial or Metric) of the screw, (2) taking the inverse of the number (to find screw pitch) and (3) multiply number by two.

Example: 8-32 SAE screw

8-32 screw has 32 threads per inch, (1/32)(2) = 0.0625 inches which is the minimum thickness in inches of the metal necessary for 2 full threads.

M5 metric screw

M5 screw has 1.25 threads per mm, (1/1.25)(2) = 1.6 mm which is the minimum thickness in mm of the metal necessary for 2 full threads.

L3.1.6. A product, that is found to have features that make it unacceptable to bear a marking referencing UL, shall be acceptably corrected if the marking is to be retained. Carefully check subsequent production for such features until conditions are again considered acceptable.

L3.1.7. A product that does not comply with the requirements of the Follow-Up Service Procedure and these Follow-Up and Inspection Instructions shall have each UL referencing Mark removed from the product, or obliterated from the product where the marking is imprinted, die-stamped, molded, or the like. If the rejection of the product is questioned by the manufacturer and Applicant, the material may be held at the point of inspection, typically at the factory, pending an appeal. The manufacturer and Applicant have the right to appeal a decision with which they disagree. Appeals of technical decisions and held shipments should be directed to the Variation Notice handling office. To resolve issues involving variations in construction, the manufacturer and Applicant may also be offered the option of contacting a Customer Service Professional. Should UL grant temporary authorization for the continued use of the UL Mark, such temporary authorization shall only be for the time needed to review and/or process the Procedure revisions, or as otherwise specified to cover a particular lot or production run. The manufacturer shall demonstrate that all Marks referencing UL are removed from the rejected material. Those Marks referencing UL not destroyed during their removal from the product shall be retrieved from the manufacturer’s control and, either (1) held until the manufacturer demonstrates adequate control of their production to assure the application of the Mark to only those products that comply with requirements, (2) returned to the supporting UL Label Center, or (3) destroyed.

L3.2 Inspection Guidelines

L3.2.1At each visit to the manufacturer’s facility, the Field Representative shall review representative samples of each type of luminaire that bears or is intended to bear the Listing Mark, and shall then inspect samples to be representative of the manufacturer’s output. The samples are to be reviewed in accordance with the Follow-Up Service Inspection Instructions, the Procedure description, and the applicable requirements of the Standard.

L3.2.2 The Field Representative shall review the artwork, pictures and verbiage on the shipping carton and in the installation instructions to make certain that there is no information or representation that conflicts with any required markings. If the luminaire requires assembly in the field (i.e. luminaries that are partially disassembled for shipping purposes), the assembly instructions included with the luminaire are to be evaluated by the Field Representative by choosing a production sample, assembling it in accordance with the instructions and then evaluating the assembled luminaire for compliance with the Standard. Assembly instructions that are incomplete, unclear, or that do not result in a luminaire that complies with the Standard shall be forwarded to the Responsible Office.

The Field Representative shall verify all markings and instructions provided on or with a separate power supply, LED driver or control module packaged with a luminaire employing an LED light source for compliance with the procedure. This includes all electrical ratings (input/output), environmental and installation requirements specified for the module.

L3.2.3 The Field Representative shall verify that the manufacturer is performing all production line and applicable type testing and that the manufacturer is maintaining all required test records.

L3.2.4Any observed differences between the luminaire or manufacturing process and the description of the luminaire or process in the Procedure and/or Standard shall immediately be called to the attention of the manufacturer. Any observed differences shall be confirmed in a Variation Notice. An inspection report shall be completed after each visit.

L3.2.5A product that is found to no longer be in compliance with the requirements shall be brought into compliance by the manufacturer if the Listing Mark is to be used on the product. If the noncompliance was the result of a manufacturing or testing process, the manufacturer shall check subsequent production until it is certain that the process or test method has been corrected and the noncompliance will not reoccur. The Field Representative shall verify that the product continues to be in compliance with the requirements of Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

L3.2.6A product that does not comply with all provisions of the requirements shall have the Listing Mark removed or permanently and totally obliterated. The manufacturer shall satisfy the Field Representative that all Listing Marks are removed or obliterated from rejected material. Those Marks not destroyed during removal from the product shall be turned over to the Field Representative for destruction. If rejection of the product is questioned by the manufacturer, the manufacturer may hold the material at the point of inspection, typically at the factory, pending an appeal.

L3.3 Procedure Described Luminaries

L3.3.1Luminaires are described in the Follow-Up Service Procedure as a result of an evaluation of a specific design. The design usually requires testing and an investigation performed at UL. The product description in the Procedure may address construction features not specified in the referenced Standard. Only those features that would affect the results of the investigation or tests are described. Unless otherwise specified in Table L2.4, the Field Representative shall evaluate other constructional features not described in the Follow-Up Procedure according to the requirements in the Standard and the Follow Up Service Instructions.

L3.3.2Other than for the requirements tabulated in Table L2.4, wherever the word “equivalent” is used in the Standard, it is intended that the Field Representative shall determine the equivalence. The equivalence shall be determined by applying the construction and/or performance criteria of the requirement specified in the Standard. If there is any doubt on the part of the Field Representative, the Responsible Office is to be contacted.

L3.3.3 “General Coverage” Luminaires Evaluated At The Factory

L3.3.3.1General Coverage incandescent and fluorescent luminaires shall be evaluated at the factory for compliance with Sections 4-8 and Sections 10 and 11 as applicable, in addition to other applicable clauses of the Standard not specified in Table L2.4. Luminaire designs that do not comply with the temperature test-exempt requirements and/or contain features that must be evaluated using the requirements specified in one or more of the clauses in table L2.4 must be submitted to the Certification Organization.

L3.3.3.2 Incandescent temperature test exempt luminaires designed for use with conventional non-halogen tungsten filament lamps (Types A, B, BR, C, ER, F, G, PAR, P, PS, R, S, and T) rated nominally 120 V ac shall be evaluated for compliance with Section 7.

L3.3.3.3Ceiling mounted temperature test exempt luminaires designed with partially enclosed lamp compartments as illustrated in Figure 7.2.5.1 shall be packaged and shipped with a diffuser.

L4 LISTING MARK

L4.1 General

L4.1.1 One appropriate Listing Mark shall be applied to each complete luminaire. One Listing Mark shall be applied to each rough-in and finishing section (as appropriate) of a two-section lighting unit that is not shipped as a complete luminaire. Such two-section units may bear one Listing Mark only when both sections are packed (completely wired) and shipped in a single carton.

L4.1.2Luminaires complying only with the UL requirements may bear only a Listing Mark that identifies conformance with UL requirements. Luminaires complying only with the Canadian requirements may bear only a Listing Mark that identifies conformance with Canadian requirements. Luminaires complying with all requirements may bear a Listing Mark that identifies conformance with the UL and Canadian requirements.

L4.1.3The Listing Mark shall be so located on the exterior of the luminaire that it is visible when the luminaire is installed. In the case of residential luminaires, the Listing Mark may be located at the point where it will be visible when making and inspecting the connections to the branch-circuit supply wires. In any case, the location of the Listing Mark is acceptable if the Listing Mark is visible after the removal of the lamp, glassware, or a drop canopy is required for the Listing Mark to be visible. It is recommended that the Listing Mark be located on the exterior of residential luminaires when practical.

L4.1.4 The Field Representative shall not permit the attachment of Listing Marks to products not covered by the Procedure, unless special authorization for such action is received from the Responsible Office.
