UL 60335-2-145 and UL 60335-2-120 are safety standards developed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) respectively. UL 60335-2-145 specifically covers the safety requirements for portable transformers, power supplies, battery chargers, and similar products that are designed for household use, while UL 60335-2-120 specifically covers the safety requirements for electric pumps for water systems.

UL 60335-2-145 sets forth specific guidelines for manufacturers to follow in order to prevent potential hazards such as electric shock, fire, or mechanical injuries. To comply with this standard, manufacturers must design and produce their products in a way that minimizes risks associated with electrical components, wiring, insulation, temperature rise, and other potential dangers.

UL 60335-2-120, on the other hand, defines the minimum safety requirements that electric pumps for water systems must meet in order to prevent hazards such as electric shock, fire, mechanical injuries, and other potential risks associated with their operation.

The main purpose of UL 60335-2-145 and UL 60335-2-120 is to ensure the safety of consumers when using electrical appliances and equipment, respectively. These safety standards are widely recognized and followed by manufacturers to minimize the risks associated with their products.
