Unfortunately that is just the table of contents. UL is an old fashioned engineering organization. They don't do anything for free and are willing to be litigious. The going rate for version eight is $502 USD harcopy $402 USD for pdf. Yeah, hundreds of dollars to read the whole thing. Now it would be copyright infringement for me to post the outdated versions that can be had around with some searching. It would also be infringement for me to actually tell you what certain Chinese sites that can frequently have all the info you could possibly want at no charge. I suppose it would be enough to say that 40% of internet users don't speak any western languages and do not care at all about western laws. The older versions I have seen were not the slightest bit interesting if it wasn't for an exception. Slam hammers and a few other destructive things aren't allowed during testing of two key systems while they are used on single key systems. Don't know why.
If you have not seen
this already, it is a pdf of a defcon 15 slideshow by Tobias that does a pretty good rundown of what security standards test and, more importantly, don't test.
Interesting bit of inconsistency, UL claims 437 has been approved by ANSI. Truth is only the 2000 version was, the database was updated to display version 7 but has never been approved. Even old standards organizations have a hard time getting info from other old standards organizations it seems.
