The Electrical Docket
Trade claims weighed in the open: what shops attested, what outcomes proved, what documents anchor. Points are the weighing, not a vote — shop evidence on one lane, documents on the other, and the two are never averaged into a single score when a claim is contested. Refuted claims keep their points and sit capped below the evidence that refuted them.
Nothing here is Judge Certified. No electrical bench exists yet; bench recruiting starts now the storehouse is open. Safety-flagged entries describe a rule or a practice — they are not instructions, and the two entries held for bench review are published as register lines only.

IDEC: “relays are control circuit devices and do not need SCCR ratings” — as applied to its own 30 A SSR
Working notes
REFUTED — IDEC's no-SCCR position as applied to its own 30 A SSR (thread 2559098 post #11, the manufacturer's support/product management, quoted verbatim). Vendor lane +0 (a vendor on its own wares). Rebutted from the manufacturer's own UL listing (NMFT2.E194577, Motor Controllers), which classifies the device as a power controller; the landed listing anchor at ED-16 M4 converted the cap to a formal refutation on classification grounds. Two limits ride with it: the firsthand capture of the listing entry is still owed, and the thread's 5 kA SCCR figure does not appear in the public listing excerpt and is not listing-established. The vendor's general rule — true control-circuit devices need no SCCR — is NOT refuted; it is correct for its scope and is preserved inside ED-16 M4's statement.
