SUN - UL 60745-2-3, Hand-Held Motor-Operated Electric Tools – Safety – Part 2-3

Impact Statement: A review of all Listing Reports is necessary to determine which products comply with new/revised requirements and which products will require re-evaluation. NOTE: Effective immediately, this revised standard will be exclusively used for evaluation of new products unless the Applicant requests in writing that current requirements be used along with their understanding that their listings will be withdrawn on Effective Date of December 30, 2016 unless the product is found to comply with new/revised requirements.

Overview of Changes: Standard UL 60745-2-3 is being withdrawn by UL and replaced by UL 60745-2-23.

Processing Schedule: So that production of products bearing Listing Marks will not be interrupted, the following schedule of approximate dates has been established to ensure Listing Reports are found compliant by Effective Date:

• April 29, 2016 = 8 Month Report Review – Intertek will review all Reports. Update if compliance is verified or issue Findings Letter/Quote for any re-evaluations needed
• June 30, 2016 = 6 Month Quote Cut-off – Quotes returned for necessary re-evaluations
• November 30, 2016 = 30 Day Warning – Client advised of all non-compliant Reports to be Suspended
