Inspections, Codes, and Certificatons

Electrical Codes and Two-Component Controls
Levven two-component switching products are covered under Energy Management Equipment (PAZX) in the UL White Book.
Two-component switching products by Levven, Lutron, and Leviton satisfy the requirements of the 2014 and 2017 NEC codes. The 2020 National Electrical Code clarifies the acceptance of two-component controls by replacing the term “wall switch” with “listed wall-mounted control device” in Article 210.70.
