Critical UL 1449 update information
On February 9, 2007, the Underwriters Laboratories Standard for Safety implemented major updates to the standards for all transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) products. The UL 1449 standard was designed to reduce the risk of shock or fire hazard during TVSS use, and applies to all TVSS units manufactured after this date.
