Scope:

1.1  There requirements cover liquefied petroleum gas (LP-Gas) vaorizers of the stationary type.

1.2  Vaporizers covered by these requirements are intended to be installed and used in accordance with the applicable Codes and Regulations as determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), such as, but not limited to:

a)  In the United States:

     1)  Liquified Petroleum Gas Code, NFPA 58;

     2)  National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.

b)  In Canada:

     1)  Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CAN/CSA-B149.1;

     2)  Canadian Propane Storage and Handling Code, CAN/CSA-B149.2

     3)  Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, Part I;

     4)  Provincial or other Regulations.

Project need:

Taking UL 1349 and harmonizing it with ULC/ORD-C1349–13 would allow for consolidation and consistency between American and Canadian requirements and meet the demands of the SCC and ANSI. The new/revised requirements of this standard are intended to meet current Codes and provide a simple Dual Certification path for the same products in a single test program.
