They are for use in the supply piping between a burner and its main fuel supply tank. 1.2 These tanks are intended for

19、installation and use in accordance with the Standard of the National Fire Protection Association for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA No. 31. 1.3 An auxiliary tank equipped with a mechanism for control of a pump or otherwise controlling liquid level or for preventing the spillage of f

20、uel oil from a tank not required to be vented to the outside of a building is to be judged under the Standard for Pumps for Oil-Burning Appliances, UL 343. 1.4 A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the requirements

21、 in this standard, and that involves a risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons shall be evaluated using the appropriate additional component and end-product requirements as determined necessary to maintain the acceptable level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent of this standa

22、rd. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conict with specic requirements or provisions of this standard cannot be judged to comply with this standard. Where considered appropriate, revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted in conformance with the

23、methods employed for development, revision, and implementation of this standard. 2 General 2.1 Components 2.1.1 Except as indicated in 2.1.2, a component of a product covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. 2.1.2 A component need not comply with a specic requi

24、rement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not needed in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.1.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its recognized rating established for the intended co

25、nditions of use. 2.1.4 Specic components are recognized as being incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperature not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under t

26、hose specic conditions for which they have been recognized.
