Nir Michaeli – Rosslare’s Director of Product management said “The UL 294 is a safety standard where testing proves that system components can be assembled and operate reliably without hazard.  It attests that the system will not harm the safety or impede egress of those using the system. Rosslare has taken this ‘extra step’ to ‘prove’ this equipment is safe, giving it a ‘mark of assurance’ which sets it apart from more dubious equipment. Now with the UL Mark, we are set to continue our fast growth through expansion into new verticals.”

Performance Tests

UL 294 includes several tests that evaluate how well devices withstand damaging environments. Devices are subjected to atypical electrical, environmental, and brute force situations, including:

Variable Voltage

Variable Ambients (Environment)

Humidity

Tests are performed individually and are not ‘layered’ or ‘stacked’ simultaneously as might occur in the field.  Regardless of the ‘safety’ overtures, like UL certification for surveillance equipment, 294 is primarily used to exclude non-compliant systems from specifications. UL 294 evaluation is not mandatory for Access Equipment, and many vendors forego the cost of certification especially when their offerings are not well suited for larger government, institutional, and hospital verticals where 294 is commonly cited.

Likewise, while the mark’s testing ‘proves’ that devices are safe, the onus remains on the field technician to install them in the correct fashion in order to live up to the certification.
