Not Charger's Fault; Firemen Less Sure  ...UL is just a baseline
safety test done against test units. It doesn't mean it's a
robust design...  I work for a company that got UL approval for
a device.  For our product, UL did look over our designs. They
have some rules, for example, about how safety interlocks should
be designed. You have to either use previously UL approved
switches and sensors, or submit your sensors for approval. You
cannot have software in the safety loop. Ex: You can't have
software that monitors the voltage then sends a shut-off command
to a relay. The sensor must be electronically connected to the
shut-off. FPGAs are okay sometimes - they don't call that
software.  I'm not sure what classes of devices this applies to
though.  Comment: Re:Free Market Lies (Score 1) 291  by MobyDisk
