UL Recognition

or CSA Certification:

The ND Series rotaries have not been tested for UL recognition or CSA certification.

These switches are designed for use in a low-voltage, low-current, logic-level circuit.

When used as intended in a logic-level circuit, the results do not produce hazardous energy.
