Conductors should be of an appropriate size for the application, and should pass through openings with no sharp edges with sufficient clearance to prevent fraying or damage. If they are accessible to the user of the product, they must be tested to withstand a certain amount of “strain” (for more on strain relief, see below). Finally you can never cross low voltage and high voltage conductors unless the low voltage wiring is rated for the higher voltage. For example, a wire carrying 12 volts may be in contact with a wire carrying 120 volts so long as it is rated for 120 volts itself.

 

 

Transition to UL 970, Commercial Displays

With more and more people using electronic displays to market and sell their wares today, UL has developed UL 970.

UL 970 consists of the combination of UL 65, Wired Cabinets and UL 962, Household and Commercial Furnishings.

The transition date for compliance to UL 970 is February 20, 2022.

Intertek has put together a Facts Sheet that explains the transition to the new requirements.
