Not necessarily ...
It depends on the product and the safety standards involved. UL approved simply means that the testing agencies Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Underwriters Laboratories Canada (ULC) tested the product against safety standards. Underwriters Laboratories tests all sorts of products for all sorts of safety hazards. Presumably, if fire is a safety concern for the specific product tested, the approval would mean that the product met some sort of fire resistance standards.

yes and no. anything made of cold rolled steel will resist fire.. the question is what kind of steel door and whether you are asking if it has an authorized fire label or not. residential steel - clad doors usually can get a 20minute UL fire rating, but it has to be labeled by the manufacturer ahead of time.. you need a commercial level hollow metal door to get a fire rating up to 3 hours. you can not have polyurethane core. it has to be foam or honeycomb.

What is a UL ratio?
If you mean UL Rated, that is an abbreviation for an electrical product being approved by the Underwriters Laboratories as safe to use or have. If you buy a space heater, for instance, that is not UL Rated and does not bear the stamp that it is UL Rated, I wouldn't recommend using it.

A UL fire alarm system is a fire system that has been installed to Underwriters Laboratories specifications and is certified by that same group.

UL stands for Underwriters Laboratories, a non-profit organisation. Basically what they do is test different parts of products (AC Cord, microchips etc) and see if they are susceptible to catching on fire. UL certification does not guarantee that a product will function 100% properly, but they put their stamp of approval on items that are known not to catch fire during normal usage.

Is a machine UL approved if most of the componets are UL listed or does it need to be teasted as a whole for overall rating and UL approval?
A machine is UL approved (the correct phrase for an end-product is 'UL listed') only when UL has successfully investigated the complete machine construction and carried out any tests they deem necessary from the relevant UL standard.The investigation process is much more straightforward if all the safety related components are 'UL recognized' (the 'backwards 'UR'letters symbol you may have seen on e.g. relays, ICs, MOVs and suchlike). You must use UL recognized components from the correct category and observe the component's UL conditions of acceptability (e.g. UL voltage and current rating for terminal blocks).Hope this helps!John ShowellProduct Safety ConsultantProduct Approvals Ltdwww.productapprovals.co.uk
