Are electrified hinges certified or tested to UL294, or UL634 or any other UL standard?

Electrified hinges are not required to be certified to UL294.  Electrified hinges are to be certified to UL634.  Our 5BB1, XY TWP, 700CS TWP, TW4, and TW8 products are listed UL634 under UL file BP9752.  UL634 is “Connectors and Switches for Use with Burglar-Alarm Systems.".  Both ANSI/BHMA A156.1 (Butt Hinges) and ANSI/BHMA A156.26 (Continuous Hinges) require UL634 in order to certify electrified hinges to an ANSI grade rating in either of those standards.  There are some competitors out there disseminating false information that hinges used in “Access Control Systems” need to be listed to UL294 due to inconsistent language in the building codes.  This is false.
