George,
Welcome to the Brave, New World of UL Reports.
I have recently received a similar set of pdf pieces which include
all of the needed stuff to formulate the 2 reports that UL uses in their
work.
My pile contained pieces called Manual, Misc, NatDiff, Photographs,
Schematics & Test Record.
From my experience I put them together for the client so that they
can function in this strange world.
There is enuf info there to provide two separate reports -1) an
engineering UL Report which contains the evaluation of the product and the
test results plus supporting info and 2) a manufacturing FUS Procedure which
the inspector uses to check the product for compliance. If the design and
manufacturing are together (a small company, a single building or site, etc)
this can all be put into one collexion of info and everyone can use the same
stuff to do their work.
If the manufacturing is separated from the engineering (other
manufacturing location or contract manufacturer, etc) the manufacturing site
needs the FUS busywork pages and the body which describes the construction
details but not the test pages.
Engineering folks need the evaluation sections and test results but
not the FUS busywork.
Presumably the UL Inspector would organize the needed FUS stuff from
the pile so that the inspection would go smoothly but I don't see that side
of it regularly so I don't know.
Maybe this is good enuf to get you started in putting this together
based upon outside, not-UL input.
It would be nice if someone from UL would reply on our forum and use
that info to generate a report assembly guide which they could put on their
website.
I'm sure that you will get a number of other (helpful) comments too.
Good luck is sorting this out.
br, Pete
