February 25th, 2013 Dinner Meeting
Speaker:
John Taecker of Underwriters Laboratories
Topic: Codes, Standards and Listings - Who requires what, and why
There are many installation codes and product testing standards that
apply to products. How can you determine what codes and standards effect
your product? What reliable resources are available? Does the
installation code influence the testing standard, or does the standard
influence the code? How are codes and standards developed, and are there
any opportunities to provide input? What products are required to be
Listed? Why are the products required to be Listed? Learn who requires
products to be certified by a third-party agency, what requirements are
used, how a product is certified, and where information about
certifications can be found.
Discussion will include both the safety requirements, but also the new
requirements under development for sustainable ("green") buildings and
energy efficiency.
