UL 294: Safety and Performance of Access Control Systems (North America)

UL 294 is a critical standard in North America that evaluates the safety, security, and performance of access control systems. It establishes testing methods and performance criteria to ensure that these systems can withstand environmental conditions, power disruptions, and attempts at security breaches.

This standard applies to access control systems used in a variety of settings — from commercial buildings to high-security facilities — where controlled access is essential. It covers the design, installation, and operational performance, ensuring that systems function reliably under stress.

Key users of UL 294 include manufacturers, security system integrators, and regulatory bodies. These stakeholders rely on the standard to develop and validate products that deliver robust security and compliance with stringent North American safety requirements.
