C.2 Underwriters’ Laboratories (UL) 4.18 APTA SS-PS-004-99, Rev. 1 Edited 4-1-04 Underwriters’ Laboratories (UL) has issued UL 1994, Standard for the Safety of Emergency Lighting and Power Equipment [B18] 5 . UL 1994 includes requirements for photoluminescent and externally powered systems for installation on floors or on wall (at or near the floor) to provide a visual delineation of the path of egress during emergency situations. While this APTA LLEPM standard contains requirements consistent with the general concepts of UL 1994, the UL tests and performance criteria are not appropriate to evaluate rail passenger car LLEPM. UL staff have indicated their interest in developing a testing and listing protocol to evaluate active and passive LLEPM systems used in rail passenger cars, based on the provisions contained in Annexes B and C of this APTA standard. C.3 Deutsche Industrie Norm (DIN) DIN 67510, German Standard: Phosphorescent Pigments and Products [B9] is currently being revised to allow for extrapolation of luminance values for any time period, e.g. 90 minutes, based on data collected at only 10, 30 and 60 minutes (values subject to change). Extrapolation reduces testing time and costs. Future instruments may be offered for sale with the extrapolation function built in and provide the advantage of conducting measurements in less time at less cost. Accordingly, ASTM E 2073-00 (see Annex B), which is based on DIN 67510, may be revised. The procedures detailed in Annex D.2.2 above may also be revised. 5 The numbers in brackets correspond to those of the bibliography in Annex A Volume VI - Passenger System
