ULC ANSI/CAN/UL/ULC 2200:2020 STANDARD FOR SAFETY Stationary Engine Generator Assemblies

Preface

This is the Third Edition of ANSI/CAN/UL/ULC 2200, Standard for Safety for Stationary Engine Generator Assemblies.

UL is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) as a Standards Development Organization (SDO). ULC Standards is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) as a Standards Development Organization (SDO).

This Standard has been developed in compliance with the requirements of ANSI and SCC for accreditation of a Standards Development Organization.

This ANSI/CAN/UL/ULC 2200 Standard is under continuous maintenance, whereby each revision is approved in compliance with the requirements of ANSI and SCC for accreditation of a Standards Development Organization. In the event that no revisions are issued for a period of four years from the date of publication, action to revise, reaffirm, or withdraw the standard shall be initiated.

Annex A is identified as Normative, as such, form mandatory parts of this Standard.

Annex B, identified as Informative, is for information purposes only.

In Canada, there are two official languages, English and French. All safety warnings must be in French and English. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some Canadian authorities may require additional markings and/or installation instructions to be in both official languages.

This joint American National Standard and National Standard of Canada is based on, and now supersedes, the Second Edition of UL 2200.

Comments or proposals for revisions on any part of the Standard may be submitted at any time. Proposals should be submitted via a Proposal Request in the On-Line Collaborative Standards Development System (CSDS) at https://csds.ul.com.

This Edition of the Standard has been formally approved by the UL Standards Technical Panel (STP) on Stationary Engine Generator Assemblies, STP 2200.

This list represents the STP 2200 membership when the final text in this standard was balloted. Since that time, changes in the membership may have occurred.
