These requirements cover heat responsive links used for fire-protection service. These links consist of devices intended for installation under load conditions such as for use with automatic fire suppression systems; or automatic closure devices for doors, windows, dampers or smoke relief vents.

Heat responsive links are categorized by temperature rating, type of coating or plating, minimum and maximum design load, and other factors which may have a bearing on their intended use.

A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons shall be evaluated using the appropriate additional component and end-product requirements to determine that the level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent of this standard is maintained. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conflict with specific requirements or provisions of this standard shall not be judged to comply with this standard. Where appropriate, revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted in conformance with the methods employed for development, revision, and implementation of this standard.
