It is the fourth edition of CAN/ULC-S529 and seventh edition of ANSI/UL

48、268. This Joint Standard was prepared by Underwriters Laboratories Inc., ULC Standards, and the NEMA Technical Committee on Initiating Devices. The standard was formally approved by the UL Standards Technical Panel on Smoke Detectors and Alarms, and the ULC Technical Committee on Fire Alarm and Life

49、 Safety Equipment and Systems. The efforts and support of the NEMA Technical Harmonization Committee, UL Standards Technical Panel, and ULC Technical Committee are gratefully acknowledged. Only metric SI units of measurement are used in this Standard. If a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units in parentheses, the second value may be approximate. The rst stated value is the requirement. In Canada, there ar
