SUN - UL 867, Electrostatic Air Cleaners
Effective September 16, 2017
Effective Date (see Schedule below): September 16, 2017
Impact Statement: A review of all Listing Reports is necessary to determine which products comply with new/revised requirements and which products will require re-evaluation. NOTE: Effective immediately, this revised standard will be exclusively used for evaluation of new products unless the Applicant requests in writing that current requirements be used along with their understanding that their listings will be withdrawn on Effective Date noted above, unless the product is found to comply with new/revised requirements.
Overview of Changes: This revision to UL 867 is being issued to incorporate additional requirements for household appliances incorporating button or coin cell batteries. Specific details of new/revised requirements are found in table below.
If the applicable requirements noted in the table are not described in your report(s), these requirements will need to be confirmed as met and added to your report(s) such as markings, instructions, test results, etc. (as required).

- March 16, 2017 = 6 Month Quote Cut-off – Quotes returned for necessary re-evaluations
- September 16, 2017 = Effective Date – ATM Suspended for all non-compliant Reports
