Impact Statement: Existing certifications of Conduit, Tubing, and Cable Fittings will be allowed to continue to be certified after July 14, 2014 and not be withdrawn provided there are no changes to the fittings that require certification decision or until a new/revised requirement is determined as “Action Required” to require a file review in the future.
After July 14, 2014, changes to a certified fitting/s that require a certification decision will require that the fitting/s be evaluated in its/their entirety to the most updated requirements of UL514B.
After July 14, 2014, new certifications will be allowed to be evaluated to the most updated requirements of UL514B.
Overview of Changes: Addition of testing and marking requirements. Specific details of new/revised requirements are found in table below.
