Machinery
Guide Information for Electrical Equipment for Use in Ordinary Locations

GENERAL
This category covers machines intended for general industrial use, operating from a voltage of 1000 V or less. This equipment is intended for
installation in ordinary locations, in accordance with NFPA 70, "National Electrical Code" (NEC), where the ambient temperature does not exceed
40°C (104°F) maximum unless otherwise specified.

This category also covers the following types of machines, complying with NFPA 79, "Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery":

Assembly machines

Car wash systems

Factory automation equipment

Industrial additive manufacturing machines

Inspection/testing machines

Machine tools

Material-handling machines

Packaging machines

Pick-and-place machines

Plastics machinery

Wood machinery

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Other than as permitted for additive manufacturing machines, this equipment is not intended for the handling of hazardous materials, or for use
as fire-protective signaling systems.

Additive manufacturing machines, where combustible particulate solids are employed, are investigated for hazards associated with handling
combustible particulate solids, or combustible dust.

Machines for which the manufacturer declares that the machine and/or the machine's control system is performing safety functions are
investigated for functional safety.
Machines containing equipment provided with a cooling system are investigated for hazards associated with the loss of cooling medium and
overpressurization of the system.

ISO-type shipping containers used for machinery are intended to comply with the requirements of the International Convention for Safe
Containers (Geneva, 2 December 1972).

LIMITED-PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT
This category also covers single pieces of equipment or equipment manufactured in a limited quantity under a single production run in
accordance with UL's Limited Production Certification Program. This limited-production equipment meets all of the same requirements as
equipment that may be produced under continuous production runs, except there is no ongoing surveillance (UL Follow-Up Service), since
subsequent UL-certified production does not continue after the single run. UL certification is based on the serial number or other discrete
identifier of the limited-production equipment, and not based on any model number. A UL Certificate of Compliance is also issued (see UL
CERTIFICATE below).

FACTORS NOT INVESTIGATED


The physiological or other attributes or effects that can result from the use of this equipment have not been investigated.

PRODUCT IDENTITY
One of the following product identities appears on the product:

    Additive Manufacturing Equipment

    Car Wash System

    Factory Automation Equipment

    Machinery

RELATED PRODUCTS
Physical access control systems, which provide an attended or unattended means of monitoring or controlling traffic through portals of a
protected area for security purposes;
or in key management systems, which regulate or control access to the use of a device by electrical,
electronic or mechanical means, are covered under Access Control System Units (ALVY).

Equipment for theft deterrent or warning purposes, such as detectors, security containers or alarms for merchandise or property, are covered
under Antitheft Alarms and Devices (ATJT).

REQUIREMENTS
The basic requirements used to investigate products in this category are contained in UL 2011, "Outline of Investigation for Machinery" (excluding
the requirements in Part 3 - Machinery for Hazardous Locations).

UL MARK
The Certification Mark of UL on the product is the only method provided by UL to identify products manufactured under its Certification and
Follow-Up Service. The Certification Mark for these products includes the UL symbol, the words "CERTIFIED" and "SAFETY," the geographic
identifier(s), and a file number.

Alternate UL Mark
The Listing Mark of UL on the product is the only method provided by UL to identify products manufactured under its Listing and Follow-Up
Service. The Listing Mark for these products includes the UL symbol (as illustrated in the Introduction of this Directory) together with the word
"LISTED," a control number, and the product name "Additive Manufacturing Equipment," "Car Wash System," "Factory Automation Equipment" or
"Machinery."

UL CERTIFICATE
A UL Certificate of Compliance is issued for limited-production equipment investigated under UL's Limited Production Certification Program.
Issuance of a UL Certificate of Compliance indicates that UL has investigated a sample of the equipment and determined that it complies with the

certification by UL.

At a minimum, each Certificate contains the following information:

Certificate number
Certificate issue date
Report reference
Responsible company name and address
Limited-production equipment serial number/discrete identifier
Applicable standards
