UL says that they have reviewed all instructions that are provided with a product by the manufacturer and that all such instructions are 110.3(B) instructions. It appears that they don't really read them when they review them.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with FCC 47 CFR Part 18, Consumer RFI/ EMI
[FONT=&quot]("Class B") limits. This Ballast can be installed in a residential environment.[/FONT]

FOR COMMERCIAL USE-ONLY. NOT FOR RESIDENTIAL (CONSUMER) [FONT=&quot]USE[/FONT]

The first part of the quote was on the front of the instruction sheet and the second was in bold print on the back side of the same sheet.

Conflicting info and wrong part (should be 15, not 18).:roll:

Don't bet the farm just yet. Part 18 is for RF emissions and acceptance standards for industrial, scientific and medical equipment. Part 15 is for just about everything else.

A device can be approved for both and makes sense for many medical devices. My guess would be that if used commercially as an ISM device by a health care provider, then Part 18 applies. If purchased for and used at home by a patient, it is considered a Part 15 device and that rule would apply in that case.
 
Its a GE ballast...no model information on the instruction sheet that was packed with the ballast. Not sure of the model number that is on the ballast and it has been installed so I can't get a picture of it.
