UL 82 is a safety standard developed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for electric garden tools. This standard specifies requirements for the construction and performance of electric garden tools to ensure they are safe for use.

The UL 82 standard covers a wide range of electric garden tools, including lawn mowers, trimmers, blowers, cultivators and other equipment used for lawn care and gardening. It also includes electric chainsaws and hedge trimmers.

The requirements of UL 82 include electrical safety tests such as high voltage and leakage current tests, as well as mechanical safety tests such as strength and durability tests. The standard also specifies requirements for labeling, packaging, and instruction manuals.

Compliance with UL 82 is optional, but is often required by regulators and insurance companies to ensure product safety. Manufacturers can obtain UL certification for their electric garden tools by submitting their products for UL testing and evaluation.

UL 82 also contains requirements for the use of extension cords with electric garden tools to prevent shock hazards. These requirements specify the type of extension cables and the maximum cable length that can be used with different types of devices.
