What codes/standards apply to a wall switch.
What codes/standards apply to a wall switch.
(OP)
I'm a mechanical engineer designing the physical enclosure for a product that will be installed and wired similarly to a standard 110V wall switch. This product will eventually be sold to the US market.
What is the best way to find the applicable codes? I'm mostly concerned with the physical dimensions (to mount in a standard switch box), and required material properties of the enclosure material (to identify the plastic that meets the constriants). There is obviously some UL testing, but what else?

I recommend this book for everyone that applies UL equipment.
I recommend that you buy UL 20 but if you don't you should just buy a couple of snap switches and flush device boxes and reverse engineer the dimensions from them.
Order from McMaster-Carr or someone like them.

They started that maybe 1 year ago.
and if you can't justify 700 bucks for 1 standard you might as well just quit now...
