The sixth edition of UL 1436, Outlet Circuit Testers and Similar Indicating Devices, has been issued and includes the following revisions: • New and revised requirements to address Absence of Voltage Tester (AVT).

These requirements apply to outlet circuit testers, including screwdriver and pen-style voltage presence indicators, for use on 15-, 20-, and 30-A, 3-wire, 125-, 250-, 277-, 480-, or 600-V receptacles, ground-fault circuit-interrupter testers and arc-fault circuit-interrupter indicators for use on 15- and 20-A, 3-wire, 125-V receptacles, and similar indicating devices that are: a)Intended to be connected to the receptacle for a period of time only as long as is necessary to note the indicated pattern of lights or other similar indicating means; and b)Not intended to be a comprehensive instrument or to determine the quality of the grounding circuit.
