1 Scope

1.1 Design

This Standard provides criteria and requirements for the design of a durable building and its building elements. Designers will need to factor into their designs predicted environmental loads and action effects resulting from climate change.

Note: Provisions for operation, maintenance, repair and renovation of a building and its building elements are found in Annex I.

1.2 Building and building elements

This Standard applies to the building and to building elements that

a) are required to resist loads from the structure environment and the effects of those loads;

b) are exposed to exterior space or the ground;

c) separate interior space from exterior space or separate interior space from the ground; or

d) separate environmentally dissimilar interior spaces.

1.3 Inclusions

This Standard includes the following:

definitions for performance, failure, service life, and other concepts related to the durability of a building or building element;

fundamental durability requirements for the design of a new building and building elements;

criteria for the design for durability of a building and building elements, including requirements for design life, estimated service life, and predicted service life; criteria for construction processes that affect durability;

provisions for construction review; and

guidance on the use of this Standard to

i) select a design life for a building and building elements;

ii) determine an estimated service life or predicted service life;

iii) assess structure environments; and

iv) understand degradation mechanisms, such as predicted service life.

 

1.4 Usage

This Standard is intended to be used by owners, designers, and constructors working from design conception to building completion and handover.


The building durability plan is reflected in contract documents as assemblies and specifications. Constructor activities implement the plan by executing the contract documents.

1.5 Exclusions

The following are not within the scope of this Standard:

a) durability of mechanical systems, electrical systems, and services in buildings; and

b) durability of building finishes, except those providing a performance control function.

Notes:

Although the Standard does not specifically address mechanical systems, electrical systems, and services, such systems and services should be taken into account in an integrated design for durability of a building and building elements. Design for replacement and renewal is particularly important when the design life of the building exceeds the estimated service life or the predicted service life of building mechanical systems

The loads on a building and building elements that result from the operation of mechanical and electrical systems and services should be considered along with the structure environment and structural loads.

An example of a performance control function for a building finish would be a coating applied to a metallic building element that provides corrosion protection.

1.6 Warranty disclaimer

Determining the design life of a building or the predicted service life of a building element, execution of a design, or construction of the design under the auspices of this standard do not constitute either an implied or expressed warranty regarding the service life of the building or its elements.

The design life establishes a target performance level, and building elements are selected accordingly based on information available to designers and constructors at the time. Adhering to the procedures described in this Standard will optimize the likelihood of successfully matching the product to its performance requirements.

If warranties related to service life of buildings or building elements are requested by owners or operators of buildings, they may be sought specifically from product suppliers and installers at the time of construction, and paid for at the market rate. Design services provided according to this standard are not the equivalent of a warranty or guarantee.

1.7 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.

IEC Scope

This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.

This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electric clothes dryers including clothes dryers intended for drying footwear or gloves, and towel rails for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V including direct current (DC) powered appliances and battery-operated appliances.

Appliances not intended for normal household use but that nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen 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 that 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;

Replacement:

This part of IEC 62841 applies to rechargeable battery-powered motor-operated chain saws for tree service, hereinafter referred to as chain saws or machines, having a maximum mass of 5,0 kg. The mass includes the heaviest detachable battery pack(s), if any, as described in IEC 62841-1:2014, K.8.14.2 e) 2), but excludes the guide bar, saw chain and saw chain lubricant. Chain saws covered by this document are intended to be used for pruning and dismantling standing tree crowns.

The chain saws covered by this document are designed only to be operated with the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle.

This document does not apply to

–   chain saws supplied by mains power or power from non-isolated sources that permit the machine to be used while connected to such power supplies; or

–   chain saws supplied by integral batteries; or

–   chain saws for cutting wood as covered by IEC 62841-4-1; or

–   chain saws designed for use in conjunction with a guide-plate and riving knife or in any other way such as with a support or as a stationary or transportable machine; or

–   pole-mounted pruners; or

  NOTE 1 Pole-mounted pruners are covered by IEC 62841-4-10.

–   pruning saws.

  NOTE 2  Pruning saws will be covered by a future part of IEC 62841-4.

The maximum rated voltage for machines and battery packs is 75 V d.c.

Battery machines covered by this document are not considered to be class I tools, class II tools or class III tools and therefore are not required to have basic insulationsupplementary insulation or reinforced insulation. Electric shock hazard is considered to exist only between parts of opposite polarity.

This document deals with the hazards presented by machines which are encountered by all persons in the normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of the machines.

When evaluating a rechargeable battery pack for protection against electric shock during charging, creepage distances, clearances and distances through insulation, the relevant requirements of this document are applicable with the battery pack fitted to the intended charger.

Since rechargeable battery packs for machines are submitted to different use patterns (such as rough use, high charging and discharging currents), their safety can be evaluated only by this document and not by using other standards for rechargeable battery packs, such as IEC 62133-1:2017 or IEC 62133-2:2017, unless otherwise indicated in this document. All relevant aspects related to the safety of rechargeable batteries are addressed in this document, such that the requirements of IEC 62133-1:2017 or IEC 62133-2:2017 are not required to be separately applied.

When evaluating the risk of fire associated with rechargeable battery packs for machines, consideration has been given to the fact that these battery packs are unattended energy sources and have been evaluated as such in this document. Requirements in other standards regarding the risk of fire due to the charging of these battery packs are therefore considered to be fulfilled.

This document also addresses requirements covering the use of lithium-ion cells employed in battery systems in machines. The following is considered within the context of these requirements:

– These requirements address the risk of fire or explosion of these batteries and not any possible hazards associated with toxicity nor potential hazards associated with transportation or disposal.

NOTE 3  IEC 62281:2019 covers the safety aspects of lithium-ion batteries during transport.

Battery systems covered by these requirements are not intended to be serviced by the end user.

– These requirements are intended to provide comprehensive evaluation of a battery only if used in products covered by this document.

– These requirements address the safety of lithium-ion battery systems during storage and use including discharge and charge. These requirements are only considered to be supplementary requirements in regard to battery charger fire and electric shock.

– These requirements refer to and require parameters supplied in reference to the cells that establish conditions for safe use of those cells. Those parameters form the basis of acceptance criteria for a number of tests contained herein. This document does not independently evaluate the safety of cells. These parameters, taken as a set, constitute the "specified operating region" for a cell. There can be several sets of specified operating region(s).

This document does not apply to machines using general purpose batteries installed by the user and this document alone will not be sufficient to ensure that all hazards are considered for these products.

This document does not apply to the safety of battery chargers themselves.

NOTE 4  IEC 60335-2-29 covers a variety of chargers.

CSA Scope

[Add the following to the last sentence of the first paragraph]

and at flow capacities up to and including 300 g/s.

[Add the following note]

NOTE 1A For North American application, all references to rated pressure are considered to be equivalent to maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP).

ISO Scope

This document specifies the requirements for wire or textile reinforced hoses and hose assemblies suitable for dispensing hydrogen up to 70 MPa nominal working pressure, in the operating temperature range of −40 °C to 65 °C.

This document specifies safety requirements for material, design, manufacture and testing of gaseous hydrogen hose and hose assemblies for hydrogen fuelling stations.

This document does not apply to the following hoses and hose assemblies:

a) those used as part of a vehicle high pressure on-board fuel storage system;

b) those used as part of a vehicle low pressure fuel delivery system; and

c) flexible metal hoses.

NOTE 1 This document was developed primarily for hoses and hose assemblies for dispensing high-pressure hydrogen from refuelling dispensers to hydrogen vehicles. ISO 16964 addresses hoses used to deliver hydrogen from a transportable vessel (e.g. trailer) into a buffer storage of a station.

NOTE 2 Hose assemblies include a hose with connectors on each end (see Figure 1). Each connector has two basic functional elements that are addressed as described below.

a) Coupling to hose. This function is defined by requirements and verified (along with the hose itself) by performance-based tests in this document.

b) Fitting for transition and connection to the piping system or equipment. This function is addressed by reference to appropriate hydrogen equipment standards and piping codes.
