2. Mechanical Assembly - Components such as switches, fuseholders, connectors, wiring terminals and display
lamps are mounted and prevented from shifting or rotating by the use of lockwashers, starwashers, or other
mounting format that prevents turning of the component.
3. Corrosion Protection - All ferrous metal parts are protected against corrosion by painting, plating or the
equivalent.
4. Accessibility of Live Parts - All uninsulated live parts in primary circuitry are housed within a metal or non-
metallic enclosure constructed with no openings other than those specifically described in Sections 4 and 5.
5. Grounding - This product is provided with a means of grounding as it is All exposed dead-metal parts and all
dead-metal parts within the enclosure that are exposed are connected to the grounding lead of the power
supply cord or the equipment grounding terminal.
6. Internal Wiring - Internal wiring is routed away from sharp or moving parts. Internal wiring leads terminating
in soldered connections are made mechanically secure prior to soldering. Recognized Component
separable (quick disconnect) connectors of the positive detent type, closed loop connectors, or other types
specifically described in the text of this report are also acceptable as internal wiring terminals. At points
where internal wiring passes through metal walls or partitions, the wiring insulation is protected against
abrasion or damage by plastic bushings or grommets.
7. Markings - The product is marked on a labeling system as described in item no. 21 of Section 4.0 as follows:
- manufacturer’ name or trade name or trade mark
- model number
- date of manufacture
- electrical ratings (volts, frequency), refer to Illustration 1.
8. Cautionary Markings - Refer to Illustration 1 for details.
9. Installation, Operating and Safety Instructions - Instructions for installation and use of this product are
provided by the manufacturer. Refer to Illustration No(s). 2 for details.

Recognized Component - A component part, which has been previously evaluated by an accredited certification
body with restrictions and must be evaluated as part of the basic product considering the restrictions as specified
by the Conditions of Acceptability.
6.0 Critical Features
Unlisted Component - A part that has not been previously evaluated to the appropriate designated component
standard. It may also be a Listed or Recognized component that is being used outside of its evaluated Listing or
component recognition.
1. Spacing - In primary circuits, 1.6 mm minimum spacing are maintained through air and over surfaces of
insulating material between current-carrying parts of opposite polarity and 3.1 mm minimum between such
current-carrying parts and dead-metal parts or low voltage isolated circuits.
Listed Component - A component part, which has been previously Listed or Certified by an accredited
Certification Organization with no restrictions and is used in the intended application within its ratings.
Critical Features/Components - An essential part, material, subassembly, system, software, or accessory of a
product that has a direct bearing on the product’s conformance to applicable requirements of the product
standard.
Construction Details - For specific construction details, reference should be made to the photographs and
descriptions. All dimensions are approximate unless specified as exact or within a tolerance. In addition to the
specific construction details described in this Report, the following general requirements also apply.
