Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) requires that medical socket strips meet the UL1363A standard (“Special Purpose Relocatable Power Taps”). Medical-grade socket strips are for indoor use with medical equipment that is intended to be used in general or critical patient care areas, as defined by article 517 of ANSI/NFPA 70 (“National Electrical Code”). UL1363A has more stringent testing, constructional, and labeling requirements than UL 60601-1 (“Medical Electrical Equipment”). There is also a National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) code that deals with electrical installations, distribution, and application usage in medical settings. As for end customers, they will need to decide where to place these units, which must also be in compliance with the NEC and FDA.
