Underwriters Laboratories catalog is heavy on product titles (because manufacturers can build the cost of conformance into the product and pass it on to the user) and light on system interoperability titles (our primary concern). Many titles are US adaptations of IEC, ITU and ISO titles. We follow a few when they are heavily referenced into the same interoperability titles such as the National Electrical Code and the International Building Code. We refer most — but not all — electrotechnology titles to IEEE E&H). IEEE E&H meets 4 times monthly and is open to everyone.
