   604
        WAGO terminal blocks and connectors are tested by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. according to one or more of the relevant fol-
        lowing UL standards:


        –  PCB terminal strips                               UL 1059       Standard for Terminal Blocks
          (e.g., 236, 745 Series) are approved as            UL 486 E       Equipment wiring terminals for use with
          non-stand-alone components per UL 1059                        aluminum and/or copper conductors
          in connection with UL 486E.


        – The MULTI CONNECTION SYSTEM MIDI has
        dual approval; as a terminal block per UL 1059 standard
        in connection with UL 486 E. It is therefore defined for “field
        and factory wiring“ with a voltage of 300 V.


        –  It is also approved as a “connector for use in data, signal,   UL 1977      Component connectors for use in data, signal,
          control and power applications” per UL 1977 for “factory      control and power applications
          wiring” at 600 V (i.e., the clamping unit must be wired under
          controlled manufacturing conditions).


        –  Ex e II terminal blocks are approved to UL 60079-7.  UL 60079-7    Electrical apparatus for explosive gas
                                                                        atmospheres – Part 7: Increased safety


        –  Insulating materials are tested for flammability and perfor-  UL 94       Tests for flammability of plastic materials for
          mance in accordance with UL 94.                               parts in devices and appliances
