3 Underwriters Laboratories Speakers Kerry M. Bell, P.E. Kerry Bell is a principal engineer at Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) specializing in fire sprinkler and pump equipment. Since 1976, he has been involved in UL s testing and certification activities related to a variety of fire suppression products including fire sprinkler system equipment, portable fire extinguishers and special hazard extinguishing systems. He has authored several technical papers related to these products and has also contributed time as a speaker for numerous seminars and events sponsored by organizations such as NFPA, SFPE and industry associations. Bell earned a B.S. degree in Fire Protection and Safety Engineering from Illinois Institute of Technology and an MBA degree from Northern Illinois University. He is a registered professional engineer and a member of the NFPA, ASTM International and SFPE, and is vice chairman of UL s Fire Council. George E. Laverick George E. Laverick is a principal engineer with Underwriters Laboratories Inc. He has been employed by UL since 1973 in the Fire Suppression area and has worked in various capacities, including the preparation of test programs and requirements for new waterbased fire suppression safety related products for performance and safety. Laverick has been responsible for certification of fire sprinkler system related suppression devices, including valves and fittings and participated in the planning and development of requirements for devices that resulted in new standards for evaluation of these fire suppression devices in the categories of residential sprinklers, ESFR sprinklers, and water mist nozzles. He has represented UL on various NFPA Committees since 1984 and is a member of the International Society of Fire Protection Engineers and the International organization for Standards. He earned an A.A.S. in Mechanical Engineering Technology and a B.S. in Mechanical Technology from Purdue University. 3 3

5 Key Elements of UL Listing Qualification -- UL undertakes an investigation to determine that the product complies with the applicable requirements which are typically described in a UL Standard. Surveillance -- UL field representatives regularly visit the manufacturing facilities to inspect product, production procedures/records and select samples for additional performance testing at UL. 5 5
6 UL by the Numbers in employees 58 laboratory testing locations 125 inspection centers 97 countries with UL customers 102,305 product evaluations 552,377 surveillance visits 19 billion UL marks appearing on products 125--average number of UL certified products in a home 6 6

14 Listing Process Detail Surveillance of Sprinklers Objective of Surveillance Program Periodic auditing of the manufacturing facility provides assurance that products having the UL Listing Mark comply with the applicable requirements on an on-going basis
15 Listing Process Detail Surveillance of Sprinklers(Cont.) General Surveillance Information Surveillance visits conducted by local UL field representatives. Visits are conducted at a frequency of no less that once per quarter. For sprinklers, the visits are more frequent than quarterly if production at the manufacturing facility is at a high level
16 Listing Process Detail Surveillance of Sprinklers(Cont.) Field Representative Duties Conduct detailed examination of products in production. Review records of production testing, inspection, calibration, material specifications, etc. Verify that production inspection and testing is conducted as required for Listing. Select and forward samples to UL for ongoing countercheck testing. Take immediate action if non-compliance issues are identified
17 Listing Process Detail Surveillance of Sprinklers(Cont.) Production and Periodic Testing Each sprinkler produced is tested for leakage Each sprinkler incorporating a glass bulb heat responsive element is tested to ensure that the integrity of the glass bulb is maintained after the sprinkler is fully assembled Other critical type tests are conducted at the manufacturing facilities on a regular basis Samples sent to UL on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis are subjected to critical tests to determine compliance on an ongoing basis 17 17

24 Product Installation UL Listed fire suppression equipment is intended to be installed in accordance with: Nationally recognized installation standards such as those published by NFPA The manufacturer s installation instructions 24 24
25 Product Installation (Cont.) Why are Manufacturer s Instructions Important? For certain products, the installation standard may not include all the limitations related to the proper use of the product. In some cases, none of the detailed installation criteria for a product is included in the NFPA Standard
26 Product Installation (Cont.) Example of Installation Criteria Partially Addressed in Installation Standard NFPA 13 references that extended coverage pendent or upright sprinklers are to be spaced not less than 8 ft between sprinklers. However, the manufacturer s instructions may specify a minimum distance between sprinklers of 10 ft. which is based upon testing and the Listing criteria
27 Product Installation (Cont.) Examples of Installation and Use Requirements Not Addressed Installation Standard Attic sprinklers Combustible concealed space sprinklers Certain storage sprinklers not addressed in NFPA
28 Feedback on Use Field Report Program A critical element of a third party certification program is the availability of a mechanism to consider input and feedback from the field regarding the performance and use of listed products

31 31 31
32 Feedback on Use (cont.) Examples of Field Feedback Leading to Revisions to UL Standards O-ring Seals in Sprinklers No Longer Permitted -- Due to concerns regarding sticking to the mating surface, seal degradation and close clearances between operating parts, UL no longer authorizes use of O-rings as a water seal in sprinklers. Dry Sprinklers New deposit loading test was implemented to simulate conditions observed in samples sent to UL from the field
33 Feedback on Use (cont.) Field Sprinkler Testing Program Periodic sample testing of field installed sprinklers is referenced in NFPA 25 Most sprinklers tested are at least 40 years old, and some are more than 80 years old Approximately 95% of tested sprinklers have operated as intended 33 33
34 Feedback on Use (cont.) UL s Anti-counterfeiting Program Invests about $2 million annually in anticounterfeiting activities and education Has close working relationships with key government officials around the globe Has trained more than 200 Customs officials in key U.S. ports Handles about 1,500 inquires annually from Customs officials Additional information on
35 Standards Development and Research The development of appropriate and comprehensive requirements is an important element of the Listing process UL publishes over 800 standards UL s test facilities provide extensive capabilities to conduct internally as well as externally sponsored research that can be valuable in establishing the basis for revisions to UL s standards 35 35
36 Standards Development and Research (cont.) Sources of Revisions to Standards Feedback from authorities having jurisdiction, manufacturers, users and others Experience in conducting product testing New product technology Revisions to nationally recognized installation standards and codes 36 36
37 Levels of Published UL Requirements ANSI/UL Standards (>50% of total UL standards) Standard subject to voting by a balanced Standards Technical Panel (STP). UL has one vote in STP. UL Standards - Standard developed by process whereby input is sought from broad spectrum of constituents. Final requirements determined by UL. UL Outlines of Investigation Requirements based upon a single or a few product investigations
38 Summary Manufacturers make a significant investment in time and resources to earn the authorization to apply the UL mark to their product UL Listing program for fire suppression is comprehensive and products are subjected to extensive testing and auditing to determine compliance with the applicable requirements. On an on-going basis, UL is receptive to receiving input related to enhancing our certification program and requirements 38 38
