To get the UL Listing, a mount rated at 100 lbs must hold 400 lbs without Bending.
The Standard requires a mount to be tested to at least four times its weight rating (if supporting a TV weighing 100 pounds or less), or two times its weight rating plus 200 pounds (if supporting a TV heavier than 100 pounds). The TV mounts must be able to resist cracking, bending or distortion to pass the test.
Do you have a UL document number that specifies the bending/distortion part? I think it might be under UL 1492 but not sure.
I would like to read it but that document cost $500+. I can't find a creditable summary anywhere online.
Because if their is in fact a specification about bending/distortion, I want to know how much. Since this is not a pass/fail like breaking. And I see UL listed mounts that have what I would consider unacceptable bending/distortion under heavy loads. Loads that are however still within their UL listed limits.
