Subjects 330 (380) (In reply, refer to Subject 330) 333 Pfingsten Road Northbrook, IL 60062 February 15, 2001 TO: Industry Representatives on the Industry Advisory Conference of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. for Special Purpose Hose, Fire Council of Underwriters Laboratories Inc., Subscribers to ULs Standards Service for Hose and Hose Assemblies for Dispensing Flammable Liquids, UL 330 SUBJECT: Request for Comments on the Proposed Change from Listing to Component Recognition of Gasoline Hose; PROPOSED EFFECTIVE DATE SUMMARY OF TOPICS This bulletin proposes the following: Gasoline hose currently Listed under the category Gasoline Hose (M WHT) would be transferred to a new Component Recognition category covering hose for flammable liquids. COMMENTS DUE: March 29,2001 No revisions to the Standard for Hose and Hose Assemblies for Dispensing Flammable Liquids, UL 330, will be necessary to transfer gasoline hose from Listing to Component Recognition. Questions regarding this transfer should be directed to the responsible UL Staff. Please see Appendix A of this bulletin regarding designated responsibility for the subject product categories. PROPOSED EFFECTIVE DATE The transfer of gasoline hose from Listing to Component Recognition will require that the hose be marked with the Recognized Component Mark instead of the Listing Mark. Therefore, UL proposes that this transfer become effective twelve months after announcement of the change. This is intended to provide hose manufacturers with sufficient time to submit a copy of their proposed Recognized Component Mark artwork. Please note that this also includes the time that will be needed by UL to review the artwork and for manufacturers to make any necessary revisions. RATIONALE For years, UL has investigated and Listed gasoline hose (MWHT) without couplings under the first through fifth editions of the Standard for Gasoline Hose, UL 330, and the sixth edition of the Standard for Hose and Hose Assemblies for Dispensing Flammable Liquids, UL 330. When a coupled assembly using Listed gasoline hose is Listed, a second Listing Mark is necessary for the assembly. When the Listing Mark only appears on the hose of a hose assembly, the coupled assembly is not Listed. This can cause confusion for the consumer and others. Copyright Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

The hose manufacturers would no longer apply the UL Listing Mark to the uncoupled hose. Component hose produced under the UL Component Recognition Program would bear the Recognized Component Mark. Several years ago, the category for LP-Gas Hose was similarly changed from a Listing to a Component Recognition category with a smooth transition. IMPACT This proposal will not require a retest of currently Listed products but will require that the hose be marked with the Recognized Component Mark by the effective date. This will require submittal of a copy of the proposed Recognized Component Mark artwork to UL for review. PROPOSAL UL proposes that gasoline hose currently Listed under category Gasoline Hose (MWHT) be transferred to Component Recognition under a new category for hose for flammable liquids. REQUESTS FOR COMMENTS ON PROPOSALS Please provide the following: 1. Your comments concerning the proposed transfer; and 2. Your comments concerning the proposed effective date, should the proposal be adopted. Comments should be made in writing and may be sent by fax to (847) 509-6217 or by mail to the attention of Heather Sakellariou at UL's Northbrook office. Comments may also be sent via E-mail to Heather.SakellariouQ us.uI.com. Please reference all correspondence to Subject 330. All comments should be sent by March 29, 2001. Unless specifically requested to do so, UL will not acknowledge comments indicating concurrence with these proposals. UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES INC.
