Draft Details

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).
