UL in security

[Brett Griffin]

So while working for HAI, when Elk announced the M1, their was a discussion
about Elk not being UL listed for security.

How big of a concern is this? I would say that I am not aware of any of the
installer I trained, that any of them did UL jobs in residential work.

The UL listing of the ELK-M1 Gold is pending (IOW, it's been submitted). If
your underwriter insists on a "UL Certificated" (not just listed)
installation the job won't likely include, HAI or ELK at this point.
Certification, unlike a simple listing, includes an official statement by a
UL listed installing dealer that only UL listed components are installed and
that the protection meets UL standards. Only a tiny fraction of security
systems are UL certificated. Most of these are banks, jewelers, etc.
