(RPT) is intended only for indoor use as an extension of a
grounding alternating-current branch circuit for general use.
A cord-connected product with less than three receptacle outlets
that employs an electromagnetic interference filter or a transient
voltage surge suppressor is covered under the Standard for
Electromagnetic Interference Filters, UL 1283, and the Standard for
Surge Protective Devices, UL 1449, respectively.
A cord-connected product with three or more receptacle outlets
that employs an electromagnetic interference filter shall also
comply with the Standard for Electromagnetic Interference Filters,
UL 1283. A cord-connected product with three or more receptacle
outlets that employs a transient voltage surge suppressor shall
also comply with the Standard for Surge Protective Devices, UL
1449.
Telephone equipment and communication circuit protectors
included in a RPT shall comply with the requirements in the
Standard for Information Technology Equipment Safety - Part 1:
General Requirements, UL 60950-1, and the requirements in the

Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters, UL 943.
A cord-connected RPT is not intended to be connected to another

for use with medical equipment. Medical equipment is typically
intended for use in General Patient Care Areas or Critical Patient
Care Areas as defined by Article 517 of the National Electrical
Code for Health Care Facilities. RPTs intended for such use shall

Decorative Outfits Accessories are investigated under the

employing additional devices shall comply with the Standard for
Clock-Operated Switches, UL 917 or the Standard for Solid-State
Controls for Appliances, UL 244A.
Products that employ timer(s) as specified in 1.11 shall be
marked as specified in 40.20 to warn the user of the possible
hazards.
These requirements also cover RPTs that incorporate one
attachment plug and a single length of flexible cord terminated in
an enclosure in which receptacles may be mounted. Up to six lengths
of flexible cord, not exceeding 1-1/2 feet in length, may exit the
enclosure with each length terminating in a separate, single cord
connector. These RPTs may, in addition, be provided with fuses or
other supplementary overcurrent protection, switches, suppression
