Session 1 – July 29, 2026

Access Control Hardware – UL 294 and UL 1034

This session covered the code changes related to access control hardware that allows free egress (normal locking arrangements), along with a quick review of the various special locking arrangements.  The UL 294 and UL 1034 listings required for some types of electrified locking systems were also discussed.

If you attended the July 29th session or watched the recording, we’d love your feedback so we can improve future sessions!  There is a quick survey here.

- Have you ever been impacted by misinterpretations of the codes related to special locking arrangements vs. electrified hardware that allows free egress? - Do you know which types of systems require special listings – and which systems do not? - Are you clear on which components of a system must be listed, and what changes have been made to the model codes to clarify this?
