Standards & Certifications
Flammability Standard:
UL94V-0 actuator & case
The GW Series illuminated paddles have not been tested for UL recognition or CSA certification.
These switches are designed for use in a low-voltage, low-current, logic-level circuit.
When used as intended in a logic-level circuit, the results do not produce hazardous energy.
