16、GHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover products which are molded of insulating material and are intended to cover the outlet slots of receptacles having 1-15R and 5-15R congurations in accord

17、ance with Wiring Devices-Dimensional Specications, ANSI/NEMA WD6. 1.2 These requirements do not cover insulating devices provided to cover the unused outlets of a multi-outlet cord connector employed on a general-use cord set. The requirements for these devices are contained in the Standard for Cord

18、 Sets and Power-Supply Cords, UL 817. 1.3 These requirements do not cover receptacle closures provided as part of a ush device cover plate. These devices are covered by the requirements in the Standard for Metallic Outlet Boxes, UL 514A, or in the Standard for Nonmetallic Outlet Boxes, Flush-Mounted

19、 Boxes, and Covers, UL 514C. 2 Glossary 2.1 For the purposes of this Standard, the following denition applies. 2.2 RECEPTACLE CLOSURE A product molded of insulating material intended to be used to cover the outlet slots of a receptacle to: a) Reduce drafts through a receptacle on an outside wall of

20、a dwelling, or b) Restrict a childs access to energized contacts. 3 Components 3.1 Except as indicated in 3.2, a component of a product covered by this Standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. See Appendix A for a list of standards covering components generally used in the pro

21、ducts covered by this Standard. 3.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 3.3 A com

22、ponent shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 3.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures

23、 not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions.

24、followed by a value in other units in parentheses, the second value may be only approximate. The rst stated value is the requirement. 5 References 5.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of

25、 that code or standard. CONSTRUCTION 6 General 6.1 A receptacle closure shall not have any colors, pictures, brightly colored patterns, or other markings that attract a childs attention or encourage exploration. 6.2 A receptacle closure that is also intended to reduce drafts through a receptacle on

26、an outside wall of a dwelling and that is not intended to restrict a childs access to energized contacts shall be packaged together with an insulating gasket to be tted behind the receptacle cover plate. The gasket shall comply with the Standard for Conduit, Tubing, and Cable Fittings, UL 514B. 7 In

27、sulating Materials 7.1 A receptacle closure shall employ an insulating material with the following minimum ratings: a) Hardness of 70 or greater on the Shore Durometer D scale (when measured for 5 seconds at an ambient temperature of 23 2C 73.4 3.6F); b) Flame class of HB; c) Relative thermal index

28、(RTI) ratings of 60C for the electrical, mechanical with impact and mechanical without impact parameters; d) Minimum dielectric strength of 5 kV at the use thickness; and e) Hot-wire ignition (HWI) ratings based upon the ame class of the material as shown in Table 7.1. Exception: An insulating mater

29、ial is not required to comply with the HWI requirements when it complies with the Glow-Wire End-Product Test at 750C as described in the Standard for Polymeric Materials-Use in Electrical Equipment Evaluations, UL 746C. The glow-wire probe shall not be applied to the closure directly behind either o

30、f the closure blades during the test.

31、 Dimensions 8.1 The overall dimensions of a receptacle closure shall be sized so that the closure will not t entirely into the small parts cylinder shown in Figure 8.1. Receptacle closures that have separable parts, such as the foam-gasket type, shall have each part individually tested for insertion

32、 into the small parts cylinder. Separable foam gaskets or separable parts intended to be slipped onto the blade length of a receptacle closure as identied in 2.2 (b), shall also be individually tested without being frictionally secured to the receptacle closure. The closure is not to be compressed d

33、uring this evaluation. Exception: Packaging; any separable parts that the user is specically instructed to discard either prior to or upon completion of the installation (with the ush-device cover plate installed); and any part or parts that are not separable (i.e. reliably captive upon completed in

34、stallation of ush-device cover plate) shall not be subjected to the small parts cylinder test. Compliance is checked by review of the smallest unit packaging instruction.

A closure provided with a slight taper in the separation between the closure bla

38、des at the tip (either toward or away from each other) to increase the ability of the closure to remain seated in an outlet is considered to comply with this requirement. Exception: The blade thickness of a receptacle closure ranging between 0.050 to 0.075 inches (1.3 to 1.9 mm) outside the minimum

Permanent deection of the closure blade or face upon completion of the testing meets the intent of this requirement. 10.2 Vertical blade orientation 10.2.1

44、 Six receptacle closures are to be subjected to this test. Three closures are to be tested as received and three tested after being subjected to the Mold Stress Relief Test, Section 9. Each closure in turn is to be supported with its face xed in a horizontal plane and its blades projecting downward

45、in a vertical orientation as shown in Figure 10.1. A weight that exerts a force of 20 lbf (89 N) is to be suspended from each blade in succession. The pull is to be gradually applied and held for one minute. 10.2.1 revised July 31, 2012 10.3 Horizontal blade orientation, at of blade 10.3.1 Six recep
