1、Subject 1123 (1180, 1191) (in reply, refer to Subject 1123) 12 Laboratory Drive Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 July 26, 2002 TO: Standards Technical Panel for Personal Flotation Devices; Subscribers to ULs Standards Service for: Marine Buoyant Devices, UL 1123; Fully Inflatable Recreational Person
2、al Flotation Devices, UL 1180; and Components for Personal Flotation Devices, UL 1191 SUBJECT: EFFECTIVE DATE INFORMATION for May 16, 2002 Revisions for Paragraph 4.11.1, Figures 36A.1 and 36A.2, and Table 36A.1 of the Sixth Edition of the Standard for Marine Buoyant Devices, UL 1123 and for Table 2
3、.2, Paragraph 7.1, Sections 8 and 9 of the Third Edition of the Standard for Components for Personal Flotation Devices, UL 1191 UL announces that the future effective dates for several requirements in UL 1123 and UL 1191 published May 16, 2002 do not reflect what was originally proposed in the Decem
4、ber 18, 2000 PFD STP meeting report and further amended in the July 18, 2001 PFD STP meeting report. UL published May 16, 2002 revisions for Paragraph 4.1 1 .I, Figures 36A.1 and 36A.2, and Table 36A.1 in UL 1123 which included changes to the buckle requirements for infant, youth, and child devices
5、and to Type II labels. UL published May 16, 2002 revisions for Table 2.2, Paragraph 7.1, Sections 8 and 9 in UL 1191 which included changes to the fabric requirements. Paragraph 4.1 1 .I, Figures 36A.1 and 36A.2, and Table 36A.1 of UL 1123 specify a future effective date of September 1, 2003 and Tab
6、le 2.2, Paragraph 7.1, Sections 8 and 9 of UL 11 91 specify a future effective date of September 1, 2006. Both the 12/18/00 and the 7/18/01 proposal bulletins included specific proposed effective dates for these requirements that included future effective dates, September 1, 2001 and September 1, 20
7、05. These future effective dates were specified in order that manufacturers would have time to align their products with the new requirements and UL would have time to do retesting and/or industry reviews. Additionally, the revisions to UL 1191 include new fabric specifications and UL and the USCG h
8、ad previously agreed to give industry 5 years to get their products into compliance. Comments were received subsequent to issuance of the noted proposal bulletins on the proposals specified above. These comments were resolved during the PFD STP January 2002 meeting and inclusion of revisions in the
9、standard took longer than was anticipated. Consequently, the originally specified future effective dates of September 1, 2002 and September 1, 2005 were no longer appropriate. Therefore, UL changed the proposed effectives dates to September 1, 2003 and September 1, 2006 respectively upon publication
10、 of the requirements in the standards. In order to avoid proposing a specific future effective date in a proposal bulletin that is not appropriate when the requirement is ready for publication, UL has changed the way future effective date are indicated in PFD proposal bulletins. Instead of including
11、 a specific date, the proposed future effective date will be more general, for example, ”two years after date of publication on September 1 of the applicable year.” September 1, a suitable date for the PFD industry, is used per an agreement between industry, UL, and the USCG.

22、OTS AND COMMENTS DUE: April 26,2002 A meeting of the Standards Technical Panel of UL for Personal Flotation Devices, STP 1123, was held on January 24 and 25, 2002 at ULs RTP office. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss personal flotation devices and components for personal flotation devices. An
23、other objective of the meeting was to resolve comments received with the latest ballots dated July 18, 2001 on the ANSI approval of proposals for UL 1123, UL 1180, and UL 1191, by obtaining agreement at the meeting on the disposition of the comments. Comments on UL 1517 and UL 1197 proposals were al
24、so discussed. However, UL 1517 and UL 1197 are not ANSI approved standards and consequently, proposals to UL 1517 and UL 1197 are not balloted. INSTRUCTIONS STP Members: If the STP concurs with the disposition/actions, then consensus will be achieved and UL will adopt the proposals and revise UL 112
25、3, UL 1180, and UL 1191 accordingly. Copyright Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
