I was unaware that UL certifications had a 1 year shelf life. That statement from UL devalues UL certification in a big way.
At a previous employer, we had an environmental chamber moved to a building that had been renovated before we moved in. The AHJ red tagged the chamber, because it lacked an NRTL certification. The chamber was certainly more than a year old and no prior NRTL report existed. UL performed a field evaluation on the chamber with only the proviso that the AHJ accept their letter report and that the company make any necessary changes to the equipment. Regards, Peter L. Tarver *From:* Richard Pittenger [mailto:[email protected]] *Sent:* Friday, January 06, 2012 11:46 Ted, In an unrelated instance, one of my colleagues just had an occasion today to discuss field evaluations with UL and was informed that they won’t perform field evaluations on equipment older than one year nor if the equipment does not have a UL report.
