Again Peter, thank you for your advice. I agree that it would appear it is now appropriate to go straight to UL and CSA. Thank you.
Thank you to all who have replied concerning this issue. As always I am very appreciative of the consider wisdom of the many participants of this group.

Tarver Sent: Tuesday, 15 July 2003 7:40 AM To: emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org Subject: RE: Professional Lighting Control Console - the Americas At the risk of offending, this is discussion is mostly academic (for the US). By this I mean, I looked up the applicable standards on UL's web site and though there was one surprising answer (surprising to me), they were the correct answers for the US, unless some additional product information is forthcoming that might change the landscape. While at UL, I evaluated theater and architectural dimmers. UL 508 was the applicable standard. Since this is a controller, without dimming, I suspect UL508 is still the applicable standard, unless a case can be made for the product category where UL60950 was specified (the implication is that the device is a computerized switch controller). Perhaps one piece that's missing from this discussion is that UL certifies products to product categories, not standards; within each product category for Listing, the appropriate standard(s) is (are) identified in the UL Guide Card. It is not particularly relevant to debate applicability of one standard over another, without consulting the Guide Cards for the product categories of interest. If the above information is considered incorrect, speculation will not derive the correct answer. In order for Kevin to discover the correct standard(s), assuming they are different from those previously mentioned, he should send a request with product description to UL's customer Service Dept. and to CSA through their web site or a direct engineering contacts that can lead to the correct answers. I'm certain they'll give you the most correct information. I do not think that UL60065 applies, but UL may have a different story. Regards, Peter L.
