UL 8800

 

ANSI/CAN/UL Standard for Safety Horticultural Lighting Equipment and Systems

 

The Standard pulls several different standards and testing under one umbrella to meet the specific demands of the growing industry of Horticulture.

 

This ties in the Electrical. Mechanical and Biohazards of the industry to a single standard.

 

In it you find it will reference back to UL 1598 for fixtures/IEC 62471-2 for Photobiological hazards along with standards that help address specific hazards in a grow system such as Humidity, Dirt, Heat, Chemical Exposure and a constantly changing environment based on what is being grown.

 

UL has a white paper addressing some of the challenges and reasons behind making this a unified standard at https://www.ul.com/insights/evaluating-safety-and-performance-horticultural-lighting-and-grow-systems
