Custom-Built Kiosks UL Subject 2361 Presented by: Scott Smith
Subject 2361 • Uses UL 1950/60950 as a reference/base standard • Published December 22, 1999 • Scope: Information Kiosks, Ticket Machines, Electronic Point of Sale, and Business Application Products UL Category Control Number (CCN): EMHH • Manufacturers have the option of submitting their kiosks for evaluation to Subject 2361 or UL60950.
Rationale for Subject 2361 • Provides greater flexibility to kiosk manufacturers who build one-of-a-kind products to suit clients’ specific needs. • Based on use of Listed products within an enclosure (ex. Computer, Monitor, DVD player, etc.) • Manufacturers approved to build kiosks in this category can apply UL labels without having UL test or perform field evaluations (Excludes Configuration III).
Types of Kiosks Covered • Cord connected, complete enclosure. Configuration II: • Field wired, complete enclosure Configuration IIII: Configuration I: • System includes unevaluated assemblies, requires further evaluation. Configuration IV: • Cord connected, incomplete enclosure (provided by installation).
Subject 2361 Enclosure Construction • Evaluated to UL 1950/60950, or: • Evaluated to UL 50, or: • Min. HB material (Configuration I), or: • Laminated Plywood or Similar Substrate (Laminate evaluated to UL 723 with an FSI of 200 or better), or: Enclosure (Clause 6.4): • Wood or Wood Composite minimum ½” thick (no uninsulated live parts, minimized unbroken exposed surfaces), or: • Configuration IV.
Subject 2361 Testing & Exceptions Input Test (not prohibited as manufacturer’s test) • Exception: Sum of all rated currents of subassemblies does not exceed 80% of power supply attachment plug. Stability Test (not prohibited as manufacturer’s test) • Exception 1: Kiosks weighing 18 kg or less, less than 2 ft high, and intended for other than floor standing. • Exception 2:Configuration IV.
Subject 2361 Testing & Exceptions (cont.) Heating Test (At UL only, if needed) • Exception 1: Metal enclosure, min. 200% volume of the sum of all assemblies. • Exception 2: Ventillated enclosure, min. 200% volume, ventillation covers up to 10% of enclosure. • Exception 3: Ventillated enclosure, min. 200% volume, air is turned over by a fan at least twice an hour. • Exception 4: Enclosure with min. 200% volume, assemblies all vent directly outside kiosk. • Exception 5: Configuration IV
Subject 2361 Testing & Exceptions (cont.) Electric Strength Test (May be conducted as manufacturer’s test) • Exception : Configurations I & IV.
Limitation For US & Canada Only
Advantages 1. Reduction in overall certification costs: • There is a one-time engineering fee for a UL training session. • Manufacturers can apply UL labels to completed kiosks without having to submit for evaluation of each individual model (Kiosks must be Configuration I, II, or IV. Standard UL Follow-Up and Label fees still apply.) 2. Flexibility • Manufacturer can substitute subassemblies as needed as long as components are UL Listed and meet the overall construction requirements of the category.
