Thanks, but that doesn't make sense to me. There are many process/Mechanical packages in the plant that have their own UCP (Unit Control Panel) and on the UCP there are many alarm in the form of indicating lamp and it doesn't make sense to link those alarms to UL2017 .
Who make a judgement on which "system alarms" are categorised as "general alarm" or an "Emergency alarm" ?
Anyway, thanks for the respond
I agree 110% makes no sense. To them "Alarm" is indicator Lamp (Just told me that yesterday) the Issue they had was its was remote from the equipment, they had no problem with the lights on the control panels. Another time they (New Inspector) had issues with our E-stop on the control sighting 1.18 claiming if it was for Emergency Control to stop the machine the panel could not be UL508a and had to be a UL2017 control panel. It was real funny when we showed them 66.11 requiring the E-Stop. It was like watching a computer "Blue Screen".
In a new situation this week with UL508a folks, they are elevating our customers requirements to 2075/2017 while the International/National Standard Board that oversees this industry (US) list the control system as needing to be UL 61010.
They never talked to our customer or reviewed the site. We had no Idea the UL508a inspector could specify our customer requirements. We though that was left up to the Municipality to deem the need for Life Safety Systems.
Also environment we are in are somewhat harsh and finding UL2075 components is proving difficult.
Unfortunately there is no path around an inspector. They have 100% final word even if they are wrong.
So currently I can not supply to my customer a UL508a panel but my competetres can.
We are currently discussing cost with ETL to switch labels..
