What it covers
US safety standard for operators and systems that move doors, draperies, gates, louvers and windows. For garage door and gate operators it sets entrapment-protection requirements, including how the operator must react to an obstruction and which external monitored sensors are accepted. US federal rule 16 CFR 1211 relies on it for residential garage door operators. Relevant to: door, gate and window operator makers selling in the US and Canada, usually certified by a nationally recognised testing laboratory.

Certification programs
- UL certification A UL Listing means UL Solutions evaluated samples of the product against the applicable safety standard and carries out follow-up inspections of production; a UL Recognized Component mark covers a part intended for use inside another product. For door, drapery, gate, louver and window operators the product standard is UL 325. The C-UL mark covers Canadian requirements and the C-UL-US mark covers both the United States and Canada. No U.S. federal rule requires UL itself for these products, but electrical codes, inspectors, employers and retailers commonly require a listing by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL); UL Solutions is one of several NRTLs.
