Safety Standards
Safety Standards are rules and regulations that must be followed to address the safety concerns and requirements for the automatic operation of all garage doors, vehicular gates, draperies, exterior awnings, louvers, windows, and other opening and closing appliances. This standard was created by industry leaders and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to evaluate products in the interest of public safety, including preventing fire and electrical hazards and providing consumers with safety requirements for all applicable products.
