What is the significance of the UL AWM classification for international buyers?

In the international market, many high-temperature wires are classified under UL 758 as Appliance Wiring Material (AWM). This means they are Recognized Components intended specifically for the internal wiring of factory-assembled equipment (like industrial ovens, HVAC systems, or control panels), rather than for general building wire pulled through walls. Each AWM “Style” dictates the precise voltage, temperature limit, and insulation thickness.
