This Standard
32、 contains basic requirements for products covered by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) under its Follow-Up Service for this category within the limitations given below and in the Scope section of this Standard. These requirements are based upon sound engineering principles, research, records of te
33、sts and field experience, and an appreciation of the problems of manufacture, installation, and use derived from consultation with and infomation obtained from manufacturers, users, inspection authorities, and others having specialized experience. They are subject to revision as further experience a
34、nd investigation may show is necessary or desirable. B. The observance of the requirements of this Standard by a manufacturer is one of the conditions of the continued coverage of the manufacturers product. C. A product which complies with the text of this Standard will not necessarily be judged to
35、comply with the Standard if, when examined and tested, it is found to have other features which impair the level of safety contemplated by these requirements. D. A product employing materials or having forms of construction which conflict with specific requirements of the Standard cannot be judged t
36、o comply with the Standard. A product employing materials or having forms of construction not addressed by this Standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of the requirements and, if found to meet the intent of this Standard, may be judged to comply with the Standard. E. UL, in perf
37、orming its functions in accordance with its objectives, does not assume or undertake to discharge any responsibility of the manufacturer or any other party. The opinions and findings of UL represent its professional judgment given with due consideration to the necessary limitations of practical oper
38、ation and state of the art at the time the Standard is processed. UL shall not be responsible to anyone for the use of or reliance upon this Standard by anyone.

40、uirements cover floating waterlights intended for use in accordance with the applicable regulations of the United States Coast Guard. 1.2 The floating waterlights covered by these requirements are intended for United States Coast Guard approval under 46 CFR 161 .O1 O. 1.3 These requirements cover fl
41、oating waterlights having solid-state electronic circuits that take power from a battery and supply the power to flashtubes or incandescent lamps, causing the flashtubes or lamps to emit light at the required intensity (and, for flashing waterlights, at the required rate). The waterlights covered ar
42、e of the following types: a) Stroboscopic Flashing - A waterlight having a flashing circuit and a xenon flashtube or the equivalen t. b) Flashing Incandescent - A waterlight having a flashing circuit and an incandescent lamp. c) Steady-Buming Incandescent - A waterlight having a circuit that provide
43、s continuous power and an incandescent lamp. 1.4 A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons shall be evaluated us
44、ing 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 standard. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conflict with specific requi
45、rements 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 methods employed for development, revision, and implementation of this standard. 2 Units of Measurement 2
46、.1 If a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units in parentheses, the second value may be only approximate.

48、 OCTOBER 29,199 3.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its recognized rating established for the intended conditions of use. 3.4 Specific components are recognized as being incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use o
49、nly under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specified limits, and shall be used only under those specific conditions for which they have been recognized. CONSTRUCTION 4 General 4.1 A waterlight shall be a self-contained unit and shall be constructed to be stowed in a position in which it is extinguished, and float in a vertically upright position and automatically emit light in the intended manner when in water. See Float Test, Section 10. 4.2 A waterlight shall consist essentially of a case, emb
