1.1
This Standard specifies the requirements for low-halogen aboveground (Type AG) reinforced thermosetting resin conduit (RTRC) and fittings for installation and use in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Part I, NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC) and NOM-001-SEDE, Standard for Electrical Installations (Mexico), in non-hazardous locations.

1.2
The products specified in this Standard are intended for use at -40° C (-40°F) to 110 °C (230°F). The products are for use above ground in exposed and concealed locations. The products are also suitable for use below ground by direct burial or by encasement in concrete.

1.3
Type AG conduit has not been evaluated for directional boring applications.

1.4
This Standard covers ID (dimensions based on inside diameters) and IPS (dimensions based on outside diameters of iron pipe sizes) conduit and fittings. Trade sizes (metric designators) are 1/2 (16) to 6 (155).

Note: The values in parenthesis are metric size designations of conduits and fittings and do not necessarily reflect metric trade sizes.

1.5
ID and IPS conduit are designated as SW (Standard Wall) or HW (Heavy Wall), which refer to specific wall thicknesses.

1.6
Fittings specified in this Standard include, but are not limited to, straight couplings, 5° angle couplings, adapters, and elbows with plain ends or integral belled ends at one or both ends, expansion joints, and conduit bodies.

Note: In Canada, conduit bodies are not evaluated as outlet boxes – they are fittings. Requirements in this standard for conduit bodies intended for use as outlet boxes do not apply in Canada. In Mexico and the United States, a conduit body may be used as an outlet box for the splicing of conductors.

1.7
For products intended for use in Canada, general requirements are given in CSA-C22.2 No. 0.

This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.

This International Standard deals with the safety of electric instantaneous water heaters for household and similar purposes and intended for heating water below boiling temperature, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances.

NOTE 101 Instantaneous water heaters incorporating bare heating elements are within the scope of this standard.

Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended for use in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard.

As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances which are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account 

– persons (including children) whose 
• physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or 
• lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction; 
– children playing with the appliance.

NOTE 102 Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be necessary; 
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities; 
– in many countries regulations exist for the installation of equipment connected to the water mains.

NOTE 103 This standard does not apply to
– appliances for heating liquids (IEC 60335-2-15); 
– storage water heaters (IEC 60335-2-21); 
– appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes; 
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions  prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas); 
– commercial dispensing appliances and vending machines (IEC 60335-2-75).

This part of IEC 60079 specifies the requirements for the design, construction, testing and marking of Ex Equipment and Ex Components with type of protection liquid immersion o intended for use in explosive gas atmospheres. 

Ex Equipment and Ex Components of type of protection liquid immersion o are either: 
 - Level of Protection ob (EPL Mb or Gb)
 - Level of Protection oc (EPL Gc) 

For Level of Protection ob, this standard applies where the rated voltage does not exceed 11 kV r.m.s. a.c. or d.c. 

For Level of Protection oc, this standard applies where the rated voltage does not exceed 15 kV r.m.s. a.c. or d.c. 

NOTE Requirements for higher voltages are under consideration. 

This Standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0. Where a requirement of this standard conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0, the requirement of this standard takes precedence. 

1.1
This Standard provides procedures for evaluating polymeric materials and parts made from polymeric materials intended for application in electrical equipment covered by the Canadian Electrical Code, Part II (CE Code, Part II), with respect to:

a) flammability;
b) mechanical properties;
c) thermal properties;
d) resistance to weathering; and
e) electrical properties.

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.

1.5
Test procedures for classifying electrical wires and cables are not specified in this Standard.

1.6
The test methods described in this Standard involve procedures to assess material integrity, electrical properties and reaction to fire.

1.7
The evaluation of component parts for electrical applications that are produced using Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes shall be evaluated under the appropriate clauses of this standard where deemed applicable.

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.

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 clause of part 1 is replaced by the following:
