C NFPA 58, Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases C NFPA 70, National Electrical Code C NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code C NFPA 101, Life Safety Code Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) is an independent, not-for-profit product safety testing and certification organization. Founded in 1894, UL has five testing laboratories in the United States and subsidiaries in Mexico, Denmark, England, Italy, India, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan. The organization also has numerous international, affiliate, and representative offices, as well as field representatives located throughout the world. Most significant for the microturbine community, UL 2200 is the product standard by which microturbines are currently being rated. UL-Canada Mark Through the provisions of agreements between UL and Canadian certification organizations, UL clients can receive UL and Canadian certifications with one submittal. These agreements provide for the reciprocal acceptance of test results and cover a wide range of products. UL has been granted Certification Organization (CO) and Testing Organization (TO) accreditations for Canada by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC). UL’s CO accreditation encompasses all of its facilities that handle both certification and testing, and all of its product categories and programs. By virtue of this accreditation, UL can evaluate products intended for the Canadian marketplace to Canadian National Standards and Codes, and authorize clients to label those products with the UL Mark for Canada. 2.1.3 Consensus Standard Development Process A new technology, government directive, or other phenomenon may create the need to test, rate, or otherwise evaluate something that has not been addressed previously. An example is the development of ASHRAE Standard 90 dealing with building energy efficiency in 1975. This was a direct response to the ‘Energy Crisis’ and the need expressed by some states for criteria on energy conservation that could be incorporated into their building codes. Once the need is identified (and a draft standard developed by some interested entity as a “strawman”), the individual or organization with the greatest desire for standardization will seek out a standards developer and request the developer to initiate standards development. In the case of ASHRAE, the organization’s Standards Committee makes the decision to establish new ‘Standards Project Committees.’ Within the NFPA, the Standards Council makes the decisions on new projects. The standards developer, typically with help from the standards instigator, will draft a title, purpose, and scope (TP&S)for the standard. These establish the framework for the standards project. This document, along with an expression of the need for the standard, is then considered by the committee 2.6PDF Image | PNNL 13277
