The standard says '...meets a suitable test program as given in Annex CC' [not Annex C].  It does not say 'shall meet the test program given in Annex CC'. As you know, the manufacturer is permitted  to decide (and document) that a part meeting UL2367 is acceptable, and it would be up to a regulatory authority to challenge that. It seems unlikely that UL 2367 would be deficient, since this is a precaution against fire, which is a major concern of UL, of course.

Client has designed a USB port with the DC power protected by a TI TPS2052B Current limiter:

  * Component details: www.ti.com/product/TPS2052B/description
    <http://www.ti.com/product/TPS2052B/description>
  * Component is UL recognised component under QVGS2.E169910 which is
    based on UL 2367

*2.5 Limited power sources*

c) a regulating network, or an integrated circuit (IC) current limiter, limits the output in compliance with Table 2B, both with and without a simulated single fault (see 1.4.14) in the regulating network or the IC current limiter (open circuit or short circuit). A single fault between the input and output is not conducted if the IC current limiter meets a suitable test program as given in Annex CC;

Annex CC requires appears to require quite extensive testing of the component, and I can’t tell whether a component recognised against UL2367 would meet this or not.

The issue, is that if they s/c the protection component, the output may no longer be LPS – we have provision to fit a suitable fuse on the board, but would prefer not to, so would be grateful for any advice

Thanks
