1.2
The test procedures listed in this Standard are provided for reference in the Standards forming Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code.  Although the verbal auxiliary “shall” is used to state the requirements of each test procedure given, it is essential to recognize that the procedures are nonmandatory in themselves unless mandated by individual Standards.

Note:  Many of these procedures are recognized internationally for evaluating polymeric materials and are equally applicable to areas other than electrical.

1.3
This Standard provides procedures for making reproducible observations and serves as an aid in classifying materials according to the criteria set forth in the individual Standards.

1.4
The procedures described in this Standard involve standard-size specimens tested under laboratory conditions and are intended to be used solely to measure and describe the properties of material.  They are intended to serve as a preliminary indication of the material’s acceptability for a particular application.  The performance level of a material by these methods may vary in the end use application.

Notes:

1) This Standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment.  This Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use.  It is the responsibility of the user of this Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

2) This Standard should be used to measure and describe the properties of materials, products, or assemblies in response to heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions and should not be used to describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions.  However, results of each test may be used as an element of a fire risk assessment that takes into account all of the pertinent factors of a particular end use.

3) The test methods described in this Standard are not intended to assess fire hazard.  The fire hazard created by materials depends upon the form and end use of the material.  Assessment of fire hazard includes, but is not limited to, many factors, such as ease of ignition, burning rate, flame spread, fuel contribution, intensity of burning, and products of combustion.

1.8
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 and option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.
