1.2 These requirements do not cover navigation light fixtures for use in hazardous locations as defined inthe U. S. Coast Guard Electrical Engineering Regulations.
1.3 A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or differentfrom those covered by the requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of fire, electric shock, orinjury to persons shall be evaluated using the appropriate additiona component and end-productrequirements as determined necessary to maintain the acceptable level of safety as originally anticipatedby the intent of this standard. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, orsystems conflict with specific requirements or provisions of this standard cannot be judged to comply withthis standard. Where considered appropriate, revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted inconformance with the methods employed for development, revision, and implementation of this standard.
2 Units of Measurement
2.1 lf a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units in parentheses, the second value maybe only approximate. The first stated value is the requirement. S units are in accordance with theAmerican National Standard for Metric Practice, ANSVASTM E380.
3 Components
3.1 Except as indicated in 3.2, a component of a product covered by this Standard shall comply with therequirements for that component.
3.2 A component need not comply with a specific requirement that:
a) Involves a feature or characteristic not needed in the application of the component in theproduct covered by this standard, or
b) ls superseded by a requirement in this standard.
3.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its recognized rating established for the, intendedconditions of use.
3.4 Specific components are recognized as being incomplete in construction features or restricted inperformance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such ascertain temperatures not exceeding specified limits, and shall be used only under those specific conditionsfor which they have been recognized.
