Main Categories

1.1 This Part is intended to be read together with the Standard for Low-Voltage Fuses – Part 1: General Requirements, hereafter referred to as Part 1. The titles of the Clauses in this Part correspond to the similarly titled Clauses in Part 1. The requirements of Part 1 apply unless modified by this Part. For the Part 1 requirements, refer to the Standard for Low-Voltage Fuses – Part 1: General Requirements, NMX-J-009-248/1-ANCE / CSA C22.2 No. 248.1 / UL 248-1.

1.2 This Part applies to fuses for the protection of batteries and battery systems rated 2000 VDC or less. 

NOTE: CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, defines low voltage as any voltage exceeding 60 VDC but not exceeding 1500 VDC inclusive and high voltage as any voltage exceeding 1500 VDC. The National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, defines high voltage as more than 1500 VDC, nominal.

Amendment to C22.1

This BDO Zone Technical Specification provides a clear framework for Issuers to accelerate and derisk Biomanufacturing project development in specific geographic regions. It guides Issuers in conducting technical and geographic evaluations of BDO Zones, comprehensively assessing Supply Chain and Infrastructure Risks to achieve this goal.

It is organized into two Risk Categories – Supply Chain Risk and Infrastructure Risk – that are foundational to two key project developer questions: What is the Supply Chain Risk and what is the Infrastructure Risk for a New Entrant locating in a particular region?

Each Risk Category identifies specific Risk Factors (i.e., the itemized risk elements within each category), Risk Indicators (i.e., the markers of risk for each factor), and establishes guidance to point Issuers to best available methods and tools, to measure and mitigate risks (see Figure 1).

The Technical Specification is meant to provide a framework and guidance document for the use of the Biomass Supply Chain Risk (BSCR) Standard (CSA W209) to assess the regional readiness of geographical areas for Biomanufacturing. The CSA W209 BSCR Standard enables more accurately quantification of biomass Supply Chain Risk for Biomanufacturing projects. The Technical Specification enables more accurately quantification of Supply Chain and Infrastructure Risk for geographic regions. CSA W209 serves as a due diligence tool to support the financing of biomanufacturing projects. The Technical Specification complements this by acting as an economic development tool that enhances decision-making for site locations, benefiting project developers and governments by enabling faster and more informed choices.

By achieving these objectives, the Technical Specification will enable the creation of a comprehensive network of rated BDO Zones, facilitating informed decision-making for biobased developers and investors, and catalyzing the growth of the bioeconomy.

This document lays down requirements for the design qualification of terrestrial photovoltaic modules suitable for long-term operation in open-air climates. The useful service life of modules so qualified will depend on their design, their environment and the conditions under which they are operated. Test results are not construed as a quantitative prediction of module lifetime. 

In climates where 98th percentile operating temperatures exceed 70 °C, users are recommended to consider testing to higher temperature test conditions as described in IEC TS 63126. Users desiring qualification of PV products with lesser lifetime expectations are recommended to consider testing designed for PV in consumer electronics, as described in IEC TS 63163 (under development). Users wishing to gain confidence that the characteristics tested in IEC 61215 appear consistently in a manufactured product may wish to utilize IEC 62941 regarding quality systems in PV manufacturing.

This document is intended to apply to all terrestrial flat plate module materials such as crystalline silicon module types as well as thin-film modules. It does not apply to systems that are not long-term applications, such as flexible modules installed in awnings or tenting.

This document does not apply to modules used with concentrated sunlight although it may be utilized for low concentrator modules (1 to 3 suns). For low concentration modules, all tests are performed using the irradiance, current, voltage and power levels expected at the design concentration.

This document does not address the particularities of PV modules with integrated electronics.

It may however be used as a basis for testing such PV modules.

The objective of this test sequence is to determine the electrical characteristics of the module and to show, as far as possible within reasonable constraints of cost and time, that the module is capable of withstanding prolonged exposure outdoors. Accelerated test conditions are empirically based on those necessary to reproduce selected observed field failures and are applied equally across module types. Acceleration factors may vary with product design, and thus not all degradation mechanisms may manifest. Further general information on accelerated test methods including definitions of terms may be found in IEC 62506.

Some long-term degradation mechanisms can only reasonably be detected via component testing, due to long times required to produce the failure and necessity of stress conditions that are expensive to produce over large areas. Component tests that have reached a sufficient level of maturity to set pass/fail criteria with high confidence are incorporated into the IEC 61215 series via addition to Table 1. In contrast, the tests procedures described in this series, in IEC 61215-2, are performed on modules.

d) non-metallic liners and coating systems;

e) joint sealants and water stops; and

f) elements necessary to support the containment structure (e.g., foundations).

1.2 Application

This Standard is used in concert with the other standards of the CSA N287 series of Standards.

This Standard is applicable to new nuclear power plants’ concrete containment structures to be built in Canada. Application of the Standard to concrete containment structures to be built outside Canada is subject to approval of the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

The application of the Standard to existing or operating nuclear power plants is as agreed upon by the owner/operating organization and the AHJ.

1.3 Terminology

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 (nonmandatory) to define their application.

Cette norme s'applique aux enceintes de confinement en béton des nouvelles centrales nucléaires devant être construites au Canada. Son application aux enceintes de confinement en béton devant être construites à l'extérieur du Canada est assujettie à l'approbation de l'autorité compétente (AC).

L’application de la norme à des centrales nucléaires existantes ou en cours d’exploitation fait l’objet d’une entente entre le propriétaire/exploitant et l’autorité compétente.

1.3 Terminologie

Dans cette norme, le terme «doit» indique une exigence, c'est-à-dire une prescription que l'utilisateur doit respecter pour assurer la conformité à la norme ; «devrait» indique une recommandation ou ce qu'il est conseillé mais non obligatoire de faire ; et «peut», une possibilité ou ce qu'il est permis de faire.

Les notes qui accompagnent les articles ne comprennent pas de prescriptions ni de recommandations. Elles servent à séparer du texte les explications ou les renseignements qui ne font pas proprement partie de la norme.

Les notes au bas des figures et des tableaux font partie de ceux-ci et peuvent être rédigées comme des prescriptions.

Les annexes sont qualifiées de normatives (obligatoires) ou d'informatives (facultatives) pour en préciser l'application.
