Which codes reference UL 325 and ASTM 2200 for gate operators?

• A. IBC - 2009 and later; IFC - 2009 and later; IRC - 2012 and later
• B. Only IBC
• C. Only IRC
• D. All codes are outdated for UL 325

Answer: (A)

Safety standards for gate operators are referenced by building and fire codes to ensure safe operation and injury prevention. The correct option shows all three codes—IBC, IFC, and IRC—having UL 325 and ASTM 2200 as cited standards, with the specific edition years: IBC and IFC in 2009 and later, and IRC in 2012 and later. This means these code editions require compliance with UL 325 for gate operator safety and with ASTM 2200 for performance criteria of automatic gate systems. The result is a consistent safety baseline across commercial, residential, and fire code contexts.
