Impact, Overview, Fees and Action Required

Impact Statement:

  • This only pertains to certifications of Programmable Controllers to UL 508. No other UL 508 certifications are effected. All programmable controller certifications to UL 508, which remain unchanged by revised constructions, may remain Listed or Recognized to UL 508. Substantial revisions will be reevaluated to UL 61010-1 and UL 61010-2-201 standards. Substantial revisions are defined as changes to the design, ratings, or the use of alternate components requiring a certification decision.
  • After July 25, 2016, all new investigations of Programmable Controllers will need to comply with UL 61010-1 and UL 61010-2-201 for the UL mark.

Fees: A quote will be issued, per the manufacturer’s request or due to a change in design after the implementation date, for the Applicant to work with their local Intertek Lab to determine the necessary test program, sampling requirement and needed construction details and/or updated marking/instruction details.
