4.3 Electric strikes and frame mounted actuators shall meet the requirements of UL Standard 1034, and be so listed or labeled by a Nationally Recognized T esting Laboratory (NRTL).
4.4 For electric strikes and actuators operating in excess of 30VAC rms, 42.4 VDC peak,manufacturers instruction sheets shall require the use of a junction box in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSINFPA 70.
4.5 Electric strikes and actuators used for fire doors shall be tested in accordance with UL 10C,and be so labeled or listed by a NRTL.
4.6 If a suppressor is required to meet the Inductive Kickback Test, the suppressor shall be installed in the product, or the suppressor and installation instructions shall be supplied with the product by the manufacturer.
4.7 Values. Required values in this Standard are given in US units. The SI (metric) equivalents area pproximate. All values which do not carry specific tolerances or are not marked maximum or minimum shall have the following tolerances: Linear dimensions shall be±1/16 in (1.6 mm). Pounds or pound force shall be±5%. Angular measurements shall be±4 degrees. Voltage measurements shall be±5 percent. Temperature measurements shall be±4 degrees F (+2 degrees C).
4.8 Electric strikes and frame mounted actuators for testing shall be selected at random from the manufacturers' finished stock and mounted in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.

5.1 Cycle Test: Test to the procedures described in UL 1034, sections 38.1.2 for the number of cycles specified in 5.1.1. The test door shall be operated at a rate not to exceed 30 cycles per minute.The electric strike shall be cycled with compatible hardware. Both right handed and left handed strike models shall be tested. Nonhanded and reversible strikes shall be tested in both handed installations.Every combination of handing, fail safe, fail secure, fail maintained, shall be tested separately.
7.1 These requirements do not predict the performance life of the finishes in actual use but are used as a quality control method to ensure consistent finish quality. All exposed, architecturally finished parts are subject to the finish requirements as detailed below. The values given are minimum requirements. All tests shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable section of ANSI/BHMA A156.18-2000. Finish tests are for all grades.BHMA A156-31 pdf download.
