Subject 2556 (44, 62, 83, 1581)

Bulletin Dated: April 14, 2005

Summary of Topics:

This bulletin presents the disposition by the Technical Harmonization SubCommittee (THSC), with which UL agrees, of the comments received on the proposed tri-national UL 2556 standard. UL proposed the tri-national first edition of UL 2556 as ANSI/UL 2556 in the Subject 2556 bulletin dated June 21, 2004. The proposal is substantially revised in this bulletin, including correction of the above-mentioned title to Standard Test Methods for Wires and Cables.

The tri-national UL 2556 standard harmonizes the UL, Mexican, and Canadian measurement and test methods applicable to the flexible cord and power wire products that are covered in the standards currently being tri-nationally harmonized (UL 44, 62, and 83 in the US) and other wire products.
