Attached to this transmittal notice is a revision of the seventh edition of UL 595.
A CHANGE IN REQUIREMENTS IS INDICATED BY A VERTICAL LINE IN THE MARGIN

ON PAGES DATED SEPTEMBER 5,1991. EDITORIAL CHANGES ARE NOT SO MARKED.
THESE NEW AND REVISED REQUIREMENTS ARE NOW IN EFFECT EXCEPT FOR PARA-
GRAPHS 15.21,15.22,64.6, AND 64.7,WHICH BECOME EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 4,1992 AS
INDICATED IN T H E SMALL PRINT NOTE FOLLOWING T H E AFFECTED ITEM. T O RE-
T A I N T H E REQUIREMENTS IN EFFECT UNTIL SEPTEMBER 4, 1992, DO NOT DISCARD
T H E PREVIOUS PAGES CONTAINING T H E REQUIREMENTS SPECIFIED ABOVE UNTIL
THIS FUTURE EFFECTIVE DATE.
New product submittals made prior to a specified future effective date will be judged under all of the
requirements in this standard unless the applicant specifically requests that the product be judged
under the current requirements. However, should the applicant elect this option, it should be noted
that compliance with all the requirements in this standard will be required as a condition of continued
Listing and Follow-Up Services after the effective date and understanding of this should be signified in
writing.
T h e new and revised requirements are substantially in accordance with UL’s bulletins on this subject
dated April 23, 1991. T h e bulletin is now obsolete and may be discarded.
Attention is directed to the note on the title page of this standard outlining the procedure to be fol-
lowed to retain the approved text of ANSI/UL 595-1980 (R 1985).
Revised and/or additional pages may be issued from time to time.

With the inclusion of the accompanying material, the standard consists of pages dated as shown in the

FOREWORD
A. This Standard contains basic requirements for products covered by

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) under its Follow-Up Service for this
category within the limitations given below and in the Scope section of this
Standard. These requirements are based upon sound engineering principles,
--```,,``,,`,,,,,,`,,```,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
research, records of tests and field experience, and an appreciation of the
problems of manufacture, installation, and use derived from consultation
with and information obtained from manufacturers, users, inspection
authorities, and others having specialized experience. They are subject to
revision as further experience and investigation may show is necessary or
desirable.
B. The observance of the requirements of this Standard by a

manufacturer is one of the conditions of the continued coverage of the
manufacturer’s product.
C. A product which complies with the text of this Standard will not
necessarily be judged to comply with the Standard if, wh,en examined and
tested, it is found to have other features which impair the level of safety
contemplated by these requirements.
D. A product employing materials or having forms of construction

differing from those detailed in the requirements of this Standard may be
examined and tested according to the intent of the requirements and, if
found to be substantidly equivalent, may be judged t o comply with the
Standard.
E. UL, in performing its functions in accordance with its objectives,

does not assume or undertake to discharge any responsibility of the
manufacturer or any other party. The opinions and findings of UL represent
its professional judgment given with due consideration to the necessary
limitations of practical operation and state of the art at the time the
Standard is processed. UL shall not be responsible to anyone for the use of
or reliance upon this Standard by anyone. UL shall not incur any obligation
or liability for damages, including consequential damages, arising out of or in
connection with the use, interpretation of,or reliance upon this Standard.
F. Many tests required by the Standards of UL are inherently hazardous

and adequate safeguards for personnel and property shall be employed in
conducting such tests.

problems of manufacture, installation, and use derived from consultation
with and information obtained from manufacturers, users, inspection
authorities, and others having specialized experience. They are subject to
revision as further experience and investigation may show is necessary or
desirable.
B. The observance of the requirements of this Standard by a

manufacturer is one of the conditions of the continued coverage of the
manufacturer's product.
C. A product which complies with the text of this Standard will not
necessarily be judged to comply with the Standard if, when examined and
tested, it is found to have other features which impair the level of safety
contemplated by these requirements.
D. A product employing materials or having forms of construction

differing from those detailed in the requirements of this Standard may be
examined and tested according to the intent of the requirements and, if
found to be substantially equivalent, may be judged to comply with the
Standard.
E. UL, in performing its functions in accordance with its objectives,

does not assume or undertake to discharge any responsibility of the
manufacturer or any other party. The opinions and findings of UL represent
its professional judgment given with due consideration to the necessary
limitations of practical operation and state of the art at the time the
Standard is processed. UL shall not be responsible to anyone for the use of
or reliance upon this Standard by anyone. UL shall n o t incur any obligation
or liability for damages, including consequential damages, arising out of or in
connection with the use, interpretation of,or reliance upon this Standard.
F. Many tests required by the Standards of UL are inherently hazardous

and adequate safeguards for personnel and property shall be employed in
conducting such tests.

UL Standards for Safety are developed under a procedure

whicti provides for participation and comment from the
affected public as well as industry. The procedure takes into
consideration a survey of known existing standards, and the
needs and opinions of a wide variety of interests concerned
with the subject matter of the Standard. Thus manufacturers,
consumers, individuals associated wit!) consumer-oriented
organizations, academicians, government officials, industrial
and commercial users, inspection authorities, insurance
interests and others provide input to UL in the formulating of
UL Standards for Safety, and keeping thein consonant with
social and technological advances.
