The recently adopted requirements for standard response links include a minimum and maximum operating time for the sensitivity test. While these requirements are similar to those applied to sp
3、rinklers, links are generally used in applications that are quite different than sprinklers including the operation of doors, dampers, vents, and the like. For typical link end use applications, the minimum operating time criteria is not considered necessary or appropriate to achieve the desired lev
4、el of performance during field use. Currently, some links have response characteristics that fall within the range between the maximum time specified for the QR type and the minimum operating time criteria for the standard response type. These links have been used for decades in the field with succe
5、ssful performance. Based upon these considerations, it is proposed that the minimum operating criteria for links, as specified in paragraph 10.1 and Table 10.1, be eliminated. Additionally, a definition of Heat Responsive Link is being proposed for the glossary to clarify the features to be included

16、MARY OF TOPICS The following item is for discussion: Minimum Operating Time for Standard Response Links This is a preliminary review of the proposed revisions. Therefore, there is no balloting at this time. All comments received will be provided to the proposal author with a request that the comment
17、s be taken into consideration. The proposal author will then be asked to inform UL Standards whether they wish to amend their proposal or the accompanying rationale before the proposal is advanced to ballot. UL will not require the proposal author to respond to comments received during this prelimin
18、ary review. Neither is UL required to provide a written response to those comments. Should this proposal (or a modified version of this proposal) advance to ballot, any comments received in response to the balloted proposal will be responded to in accordance with ULs STP procedures. For your conveni
