Hello Leo, Let me bring up something that may already be addressed by your customer. Large medical devices will likely need to meet OSHPD requirements. http://www.oshpd.ca.gov/FDD/seismic_compliance/ I previously worked for a company that manufactured 19 inch equipment racks and computer room air conditioners. These racks had to be reviewed for their seismic stability to be used in health-care environments in California. OSHPD doesn’t want medical equipment or support equipment in a hospital failing because it can’t handle the shaking of an earthquake.
The racks and air conditioners my previous customer used UL as their NRTL and this was sufficient for Los Angeles. The city has some differences in their mechanical code, but that would only affect your equipment if it has cooling water connections or such similar features.

Of course back then the only NRTL was UL as defined by the NEC(?). Several now appear. I could have that backwards.

From my memory of when I used to work at UL many many years ago I remember that City of LA has a test lab and they won’t just take anyone’s test reports but they I believe accepted some of the NRTL test reports. Does anyone have any info on this detail and also if there is a written requirement or language on this specific issue. A weblink or a reference to a City of LA code or similar would be really great to get too. Thx much, Leonard (Leo) Eisner, P.E.
