UL 1104

Standard for Safety for Marine Navigation Lights

Published by UL Standards & Engagement (UL)

The CFR incorporates UL 1104 by reference, which makes the edition it names part of the regulation. The CFR requires the edition it names, which may not be the newest. To enforce any other edition, the agency must publish the change in the Federal Register.
