ANSI/CAN/UL 87A:2024

Scope 1.1 These requirements apply to power-operated dispensing devices, rated 600 V ac or less, for use with motor fuels. Motor fuels, as defined by these requirements, include one or more of the fuels described in 1.3. 1.2 Power-Operated Dispensing Devices for gasoline/ethanol blends with nominal ethanol concentrations up to 85 % (E0 – E85) shall be constructed to comply with the following: a) In the United States: 1) The requirements defined in the Standard for Power-Operated Dispensing Devices for Petroleum Products, UL 87, and 2) The requirements in this Standard. b) In Canada: 1) The requirements defined in Standard for Power-Operated Dispensing Devices for Flammable Liquids, CSA B346; 2) The requirements defined in Standard for Electrical equipment for flammable and combustible fuel dispensers, CSA C22.2 No. 22, and 3) The requirements in this Standard. 1.3 Dispensing devices covered by these requirements are intended for use with one or more of the following: a) Gasoline formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification for Automotive Spark-Ignition Fuel, ASTM D4814; b) Gasoline/ethanol blends with nominal ethanol concentrations up to 25 % ethanol (E25), consisting of gasoline formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification for Automotive Spark-Ignition Fuel, ASTM D4814, when blended with denatured fuel ethanol formulated to be consistent with the Standard Specification for Denatured Fuel Ethanol for Blending with Gasoline for Use as Automotive Spark-Ignition Engine Fuel, ASTM D4806; or c) Gasoline/ethanol blends with nominal ethanol concentrations above 25 % formulated in accordance with the Standard Specifications in (b) or formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification for Ethanol Fuel Blends for Flexible-Fuel Automotive Spark-Ignition Engines, ASTM D5798, as applicable. 1.4 Products covered by this Standard are intended to be installed and used in accordance with the applicable Codes and Regulations as determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), such as, but not limited to: a) In the United States: 1) Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, NFPA 30; 2) Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages, NFPA 30A; 3) National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. b) In Canada: 1) Canadian Electrical Code, Part I Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, CSA C22.1; 2) National Fire Code of Canada; 3) Provincial or other Regulations. 1.5 These requirements apply to wiring methods used to install or interconnect such control equipment when the equipment is located directly on or within the housing of the dispensing device. 1.6 These requirements do not apply to control equipment that may authorize, monitor, or interrupt operation of a power-operated dispensing device, nor other auxiliary equipment. These products would be covered under the Standard for Control Equipment for Use with Flammable Liquid and LP-Gas Dispensing Devices, UL 1238. 1.7 These requirements do not cover dispensing devices for use with diesel fuel, biodiesel fuel, diesel/biodiesel fuel blends, fuel oil, or kerosene, which are covered in the Standard for Power-Operated Dispensing Devices for Diesel Fuel, Biodiesel Fuel, Diesel/Biodiesel Blends with Nominal Biodiesel Concentrations up to 20 Percent (B20), Kerosene, and Fuel Oil, UL 87B. 1.8 These requirements do not cover dispensing devices for use with LP-Gas, which are covered under the Standard for Power-Operated LP-Gas Dispensing Equipment, UL 495/CSA 12.4. 1.9 Products intended to be rated for use with gasoline or gasoline/ethanol blends or gasoline/isobutanol blends with nominal alcohol concentrations: a) Up to 25 % (E0 – E25) shall be evaluated using the CE25a test fluid as the only applicable test fluid; b) Up to 40 % (E0 – E40) shall be evaluated using both the CE25a and CE40a test fluid; c) Up to 85 % shall be evaluated using both the CE25a and the CE85a test fluids; or d) Up to 16 % (CiBu0 – CiBu16) shall be evaluated using the CiBu20a test fluid as the only applicable test fluid.
