UL 498E:2020 PDF Download

UL 498E:2020 is a standard that specifies the requirements for enclosure types used in attachment plugs, cord connectors, receptacles, and inlets for environmental protection. The standard defines an enclosure rating system that ensures these devices can be used safely in various environmental applications.

It is important to note that a device with an environmental enclosure must also comply with the applicable requirements of UL 498, UL 498D, or UL 498F, depending on the specific device. However, these requirements may be modified by the specifications outlined in UL 498E.

It is worth mentioning that UL 498E does not directly apply to the enclosure type designations for wiring devices used in hazardous locations as defined by the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. This indicates that the standard focuses on environmental protection rather than hazardous conditions.
