NYS has very strong law of what gas detector are allowed to be installed in the resedential building. Many vendors will try to confuse you the customer and will write:
" conforms* to UL STD 1484 " this does not means that the gas detector pass the UL required test and it will fail inspection !!!!
Or will write
" meets New UL 1484" this does not means that the gas detector pass the UL required test and it will fail inspection !!!!.
Make sur you have UL certificate before you buy.
* conforms means -comply with rules, standards, or laws.
