Draft Amendment to C22.1

This document specifies requirements for information management, in the form of a management process, within the context of the delivery phase of assets and the exchanges of information within it, using building information modelling.

This document can be applied to all types of assets and by all types and sizes of organizations, regardless of the chosen procurement strategy.

Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives à la gestion de l’information, sous la forme d’un processus de gestion, dans le contexte de la phase de réalisation d’actifs et les échanges d’informations au cours de cette phase, en utilisant la modélisation des informations de la construction.

Le présent document peut être appliqué à tous les types d’actifs et par tous les types et tailles d’organisations, quelle que soit la stratégie de passation de marchés choisie.

This document specifies requirements for information management, in the form of a management process, within the context of the operational phase of assets and the exchanges of information within it, using building information modelling.

This document can be applied to all types of assets and by organizations of all types and sizes involved in the operational phase of assets.

The requirements in this document can be achieved through direct actions carried out by the organization in question or can be delegated to another party.

Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives à la gestion de l’information, sous la forme d’un processus de gestion, dans le contexte de la phase d’exploitation des actifs, ainsi que les échanges d’informations au cours de cette phase, au moyen de la modélisation des informations de la construction.

Le présent document peut être appliqué à tous les types d’actifs et par tous les types et tailles d’organismes impliqués dans la phase d’exploitation des actifs.

Les exigences du présent document peuvent être atteintes au moyen d’actions directes menées par l’organisme en question ou elles peuvent être déléguées à une autre partie.

This document specifies the detailed process and criteria for decision makings when executing an information exchange as specified by the ISO 19650 series to ensure the quality of the resulting project information model or asset information model. It details the implementation of the concepts in ISO 19650-1 and is applicable to any information exchange within the delivery stages covered by ISO 19650-2 and operational trigger events covered by ISO 19650-3.

This document is applicable to assets of all sizes and all levels of complexity. This includes portfolios of buildings, campuses, infrastructure networks, individual buildings and pieces of infrastructure. The requirements in this document should be applied in a way that is appropriate to the scale and complexity of the asset. This document makes use of the phrase “shall consider”. This phrase is used to introduce a list of items that the person in question is required to think about carefully in connection with the primary requirement described in the subclause. The amount of thought involved, the time taken to complete it, and the need for supporting evidence depend on the complexity of the asset, the experience of the person(s) involved, and the requirements of any national policy on introducing building information modelling. On a relatively small or straightforward asset, it can be possible to complete, or dismiss as not relevant, some of these “shall consider” items very quickly. One way to help identify which of the “shall consider” statements are relevant can be to review each statement and create templates for assets of different sizes and complexity

Le présent document spécifie le processus détaillé ainsi que les critères de prise de décision lors de l’exécution d’un échange d’informations tel que spécifié par la série ISO 19650 de façon à garantir la qualité du modèle d’information de projet ou d’actif. Il détaille la mise en œuvre des concepts de l’ISO 19650-1 et s’applique à tout échange d’informations durant les étapes de production traitées dans l’ISO 19650-2 et les phases de déclenchement d’exploitation traitées dans l’ISO 19650-3.

Le présent document s’applique aux actifs de toutes tailles et de tous niveaux de complexité. Cela inclut les ensembles de bâtiments, les campus, les réseaux d’infrastructures, les immeubles individuels et les parties d’infrastructures. Il convient d’appliquer les exigences exposées dans le présent document de manière adaptée à l’échelle et à la complexité de l’actif. Le présent document utilise les termes «doit tenir compte». Cette phrase est utilisée pour introduire une liste d’éléments auxquels la personne en question doit réfléchir soigneusement en liaison avec l’exigence principale décrite dans le paragraphe. La somme de réflexion, le temps à y consacrer et le besoin de pièces justificatives dépendent de la complexité de l’actif, de l’expérience de la ou des personnes impliquées et des exigences d’une éventuelle politique nationale sur l’introduction de la modélisation des informations de la construction. Sur un actif relativement petit ou peu complexe, il est possible de compléter très rapidement certains de ces éléments «doit tenir compte», voire de les écarter comme non pertinents. Pour identifier plus facilement ceux des énoncés «doit tenir compte» qui sont pertinents, il est possible d’examiner chaque énoncé et de créer des modèles pour des actifs de différentes tailles et complexités

Draft Amendment to C22.1

Draft Amendment to C22.1

Draft Amendment to C22.1

This Part 3 of CSA-C22.2 No. 62109 covers the particular safety requirements for electronic elements that are mechanically and/or electrically incorporated with photovoltaic (PV) modules or systems. Mechanically and/or electrically incorporated means that the whole combination of electronic device with the photovoltaic element is sold as one product. Nevertheless, tests provided in this document may also be used to evaluate compatibility of PV modules and electronic devices that are sold separately and are intended to be installed close to each other.

Items included in the scope:

Electronic devices combined with PV modules that perform functions such as, but not limited to, DC-DC or DC-AC power conversion, active diodes, protection, control, monitoring, or communication. These requirements specifically address such electronic devices used in combination with flat-plate photovoltaic (PV) modules.

NOTE It is acknowledged that the physical design of products covered by this scope may vary widely, it is anticipated that the requirements of this document may need to evolve to meet the unique safety requirements of such products, particularly if the photovoltaic element of the product is not of a flat-plate configuration. As an example, this document does not fully address the safety requirements of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and building-attached photovoltaics (BAPV) products, although they would fall under the scope of this document. The purpose of the requirements of this part of CSA-C22.2 No.62109 is to provide additional safety-related testing requirements for the following types of integrated electronics, collectively referred to as module integrated equipment (MIE):

a) Type A MIE where the PV element can be evaluated as a PV module according to CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61730-1 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61730-2 independently from the electronic element;
b) Type B MIE where the PV element cannot be evaluated as a PV module according to CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61730-1 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61730-2 independently from the electronic element.

Items excluded from the scope:

PV modules with only one or more bypass diodes as the combined or integrated element. Such products are covered by CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.  61730-1 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.  61730-2.

Aspects included and excluded from scope:

All aspects of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 62109-1:2016 apply. Addition to the list “excluded from the scope” is evaluating the MIE to CAN/CSA-IEC 61215-1.

1.6 Common use standards

Conditions not covered by this Standard are governed by equivalent Standards in common use or by the authority having jurisdiction.

1.7 Other Ttypes of construction

In some cases in this Standard, specific types of construction are envisaged. This does not preclude the use of other types of construction, provided that the engineering representatives involved can demonstrate the safety and suitability of these alternatives.

1.8 Where practicable

The use of terms such as “where practicable” is not intended to provide an opportunity for not meeting the requirements of this Standard, but indicates the preferred clearance or method. Where an alternative is not specified, the engineering solution that most closely adheres to the preferred method should be used.

1.89 More than one clause applies

Where the requirements of more than one clause apply, all should be satisfied.

1.910 Shall, should, may, notes and annexes

In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

1.1 Scope

This Standard applies to the lines and equipment associated with underground electric supply and communication systems located

a) entirely outside of buildings;
b) outside of indoor supply stations and fenced outdoor supply stations;

c) protection of property.

1.4 Exclusion

The selection, design, and installation of supply transmission cables (≥ 69 kV) are not addressed in this Standard.

1.5 Common standards

Conditions not covered by this Standard are governed by equivalent Standards in common use or by the authority having jurisdiction.

1.6 Types of construction

In some cases, requirements are written for specific types of construction. This does not preclude the use of other types of construction arising out of continuing advancements in the field, provided that engineering representatives can demonstrate the safety and suitability of these alternatives.

1.7 Where practicable Clause deleted

The use of terms such as “where practical” is not intended to provide an opportunity for not meeting the minimum requirements of this Standard. When an alternative is not specified, the engineering solution that most closely approximates the preferred method is to be used.

1.7 Shall, should, may, notes

In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

This document specifies requirements for metallic, non-metallic and composite cable ties and their associated fixing devices as a means used for managing or securing the wiring systems in electrical installations. Cable ties and associated fixing devices can also be suitable for other applications, such as support of wiring systems, and where so used, additional requirements can apply.

1DV.1 D2 Modify Clause 1 by replacing the first paragraph sentence with the following:

This Standard document specifies requirements for metallic, non-metallic, and composite cable ties and their associated fixing devices and integral assemblies as a means used for the management and support of managing, securing, or supporting the wiring systems in electrical installations in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CE Code), Part I, CSA C22.1, in Canada, Standard for Electrical Installations, NOM-001-SEDE, in Mexico, and the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70, in the United States of America.

This document does not contain requirements that evaluate any electrical insulation properties of the cable tie or mechanical protection of the cables provided by the cable tie. This document contains requirements for the mechanical interface of an adhesive fixing device to a solid surface. It does not consider the mechanical behaviour of the solid surface in itself.

This document does not consider the mechanical interface, for example the mounting screw, of a fixing device other than adhesive to a solid surface.

1DV.2 D2 Modify Clause 1 by deleting the last paragraph and adding the following note:

NOTE 1DV: This Standard considers the mechanical securement means of a fixing device to a surface when the means for securing is provided with the fixing device or is part of the fixing device, i.e., the push mount for an integral fixing device (See 9.7.1, 9.7.2, and 9.7.3).
