Standard for Movable and Wall- or Ceiling-Hung Electric Room Heaters
Also Known As:
UL 1278:2020 is a standard that specifies the requirements for movable and wall- or ceiling-hung electric room heaters. The standard applies to heaters that are rated 600 volts or below and are intended for use in ordinary locations as per the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
The standard addresses the safety considerations and performance requirements for these types of electric room heaters. It ensures that the heaters meet certain criteria related to electrical insulation, temperature limits, construction materials, markings, and testing procedures. Compliance with UL 1278:2020 helps ensure that these electric room heaters are safe for use and meet industry standards.
It is important to note that this standard does not cover other types of electric heating equipment or appliances such as fixed heaters, baseboard heaters, duct heaters, central-heating furnaces, fan-coil units, panel- or cable-type radiant-heating equipment, and electric boilers. These specific types of heaters have their own separate requirements that are covered in different standards.
