UL Listing Document Program Requirements
Intent
To provide a single condensed document for installers, AHJs,
and users about the features, functionality, programming,
installation, compatibilities of a product and to reduce the
amount of time and effort in reviewing large documents such as
individual Installation, Operating, Programming manuals, etc…
The ULLD is not intended to replace the need for all other
supporting documentation.
Participation in the program
Participation is optional for the following categories (CCNs):
• UOJZ • UXWK
• UOXX • UXKV
• UUKL • SYSW
• UOQY • SYZV
The ULLD is a condensed version of multiple, larger separate
supporting documents which are usually associated with larger
complex systems.
Products that are simple and require very little documentation
then participation in this program is neither viable nor beneficial.
The Content of the UL Listing Document (ULLD)
The ULLD is comprised of two general elements as follows:
• A summation of all of the information needed to determine
the scope of a UL Listing investigation for a given product
(i.e. operation, programming options, compatibilities, etc.)
• All of the required information needed in the
documentation per UL864 and the UL Listing investigation
(i.e. ratings resulting from testing, limitations or special
instructions per the construction, etc.)

• The ULLD is a summation of the information necessary
for the scope of the UL Listing investigation and required
documentation per UL864 and is limited to that information.
• The ULLD shall not reference documentation that is neither
reviewed nor controlled by UL.
The ULLD needs to be laid out in a specific format
(see UL Listing Document Guide) and the basic
elements of the ULLD are as follows:
• Installation and Wiring Documents
The information for wiring and hardware installation can
be presented in any convenient and comprehensive way
as long as it covers the entire product’s hardware. It can
be one single wiring diagram, separate diagrams or any
combination of those. All terminals including numbers
and types of circuits along with the specific required
information per circuit type as detailed in the template
need to be included. If the installation instructions are not
all inclusive (all products) and references other installation
instructions for additional required details, then those
installation instructions will be considered a UL controlled
document and must be submitted for review.
• Operation
Information detailing the intended application(s) is under
this section. The template attempts to detail most of the
possible applications. This information can be presented
in a format similar to the template or may use a different
format, as long as the information is comprehensive for the
applicable product.
• Functionality
This section addresses the intended function of the
product. The list of functions in the template is for example
only and is not intended to be inclusive. The next section
of the template includes programming variables. It is not
necessary to cover functionality in both the Functionality
section and the Programming Option sections. For instance,
automatic drift compensation would be covered here
because no programming options would be available for
that. On the other hand, AC delay might be covered under
the Programming Option section because the delay time
could be selectable. Any functionality information not
covered under Operating instructions for normal standby,
alarm, alarm test, alarm silence, alarm reset, trouble,
trouble silence, off-normal position of switches, and
functions of lights and switches needs to be covered here.
• Programming Options
This section addresses ALL of the available programming
options for the product. The list of programming options
in the template is an example only and is not intended to
be inclusive. Where the field-programmable software of a
product contains both complying as well as non-complying
features or parameters as permitted in 54.1.2, the list shall
be included in the front of the programming manual or the
beginning of the program section of the ULLD as shown in
the template.
• Testing/Maintenance
This section provides a brief description of the testing and
maintenance for the system. Following is the minimal
information that needs to be included here. Any testing/
maintenance issues not covered under the Operating
Instruction section need to be included here. Information
does not need to be included in both sections.
• Compatibilities
This section addresses other devices that can be connected
to form the system to meet the intended application. The
list in the template is an example only and is not inclusive.
• System Configurations
This section covers the configurations needed to meet
the intended applications. The minimum and optional
configurations are to be included here. The list in the
template is an example only and is not inclusive.
• System Power/Size
This section covers the primary and secondary system
power limitations. It also covers the limitations on
maximum capacity for modules, appliances, etc. for
addressable devices, modules, subassemblies, and network
panels. The template provides examples and is not inclusive.

• One page Operating Instructions
This is a stand-alone copy of the operating instructions
required for control panels that are not intended to have an
operator present. The description of the product operation
is intended to be a brief summary of the details for an
operator. Details beyond the summary need to be in the
Functionality section of the ULLD. The description of system
maintenance procedure is intended to be a brief summary
of the maintenance. Details beyond the summary need to
be in the Testing/Maintenance section of the ULLD. The
Operating Instructions shall include its own unique part
number and revision level /date which will be referenced in
the product marking and controlled via the UL Report. If the
Operating Instructions are integrated within the ULLD, it
shall be easily removable.
Control and Review of the ULLD
• The ULLD is a controlled document as follows:
• The ULLD is completely reviewed by UL and it is controlled
via the UL Report.
• The ULLD is stored as an electronic attachment in the UL files.
• The ULLD has its own unique part number and revision/
date level that must change every time changes are made
to the document.
• The ULLD must be referenced in the product marking.
• Required content in Sections 90.1 thru 90.12 of UL864 must
be in printed form and shipped with the product.
• Required content in Sections 90.15 thru 90.24 of UL864 can
be in any of the following formats:
– Integral with the printed document containing Sections
90.1 thru 90.12 (required to be shipped with product and
controlled via the UL Report )
– A separate printed document (not required to be shipped
with product but still controlled via the UL Report)
– Electronic instruction within the basic product software
(not required to be shipped with product, but still
controlled via the UL Report)
– Electronic media such as CD, Website, memory drive,
etc…(not required to be shipped with product, but still
controlled via the UL Report)
Changes to the ULLD need to be processed in
the following manner:
• A Listing investigation will need to be opened to make the
changes to the ULLD.
• When changes are made to the ULLD, UL must be presented
with the details of all changes made to the ULLD. This is
best done by red line changes to the old revision level of the
document. Other ways to detail the change information
are acceptable provided they accomplish that in a clear and
comprehensive fashion.
• The revision process will be limited to one change iteration.
If UL comments result from the first review of the ULLD,
changes are to be resubmitted to UL and then verbal
agreements will resolve them. A red lined copy with the
agreed changes will be stored as the attachment in the file.
Documentation consistency
• The ULLD is the controlled document that complies with
the requirements of the standard. By utilizing the ULLD,
the client acknowledges that UL has not read or evaluated
any other information or documentation that is published
by the Applicant, Listee, or Manufacturer concerning the
installation or use of the product. If any such information
or documentation that is published by the Applicant,
Listee, or Manufacturer conflicts with the ULLD, the ULLD
shall control.
Transition
• It is recommended for Applicants that elect to participate
in the ULLD program that they approach UL early about
pending revisions. These actions will aide both parties in
the transition process.
• When the details of changes to the ULLD are provided to
UL, UL must be provided with a signed statement that all
changes in the ULLD have been itemized for UL.
Handling of the uncontrolled supporting
documentation
• Documentation that is not controlled by UL, can be supplied
via any format.
