Draft Amendment to C22.1

This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.

Replacement:

This part of IEC 60730 applies to the safety of electrical, electro-mechanical and electronic sensors including sensing elements and any conditioning circuitry. Sensors covered under the scope of this document serve only to transform an activating quantity into a usable output and do not perform a control operation as defined in IEC 60730-1. 

This document applies to sensors in so far as defining the reliability and accuracy of their inherent operating characteristics and corresponding response under normal and abnormal conditions within the sensor. Sensors, as defined herein, are used in or as part of an automatic electrical control or as independently mounted devices in connection with controls and control systems.

The use of this document for other applications in which sensors are used is possible provided that the appropriate safety is maintained as defined by the end product standard. This document applies to discrete sensors constructed of, but not limited to, conductive or semiconductive substrate, for the detection of activating quantities such as voltage, current, temperature, pressure, humidity, light (e.g. optical), gasoline vapours, and the like. 

NOTE 1 Future consideration will be given to other sensor technologies such as chemical, mechanical and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), along with other activating quantities like mass flow, liquid, movement, weight, vibration, or other as needed.

This document applies to sensing element(s) as well as any electronic hardware, software, or other conditioning circuits that are inherent to the sensor and relied upon to reliably transform the input signal into a useable response signal (output) for functional safety purposes. Conditioning circuits that are inseparable from the control for which the sensing element relies  upon to perform its desired function are evaluated by the requirements of the relevant control Part 2 standard and/or IEC 60730-1.

NOTE 2 Additional requirements can be also applied by the application standard in which the sensor is used. Throughout this document, whenever it is indicated that the IEC 60730-1 requirements are applicable, the term "control(s)", is replaced by the term "sensor(s)", and the term "equipment" 
is replaced by the term "control", as they are used in IEC 60730-1, respectively, unless otherwise specified herein. 

This document does not apply to sensors explicitly described in another relevant part 2 of the IEC 60730 series.

NOTE 3 For example, a flame sensor as described in IEC 60730-2-5. 

1.1 Requirements contained in this Standard cover controls of the light-sensitive or presence-sensitive types, or both; for indoor or outdoor service; intended for the control of indoor or outdoor loads up to a maximum of 20 A and maximum 347 V; intended for installations on 50 Hz or 60 HZ systems or DC up to 60 V (for US); and DC up to 42.4 V (for Canada); and intended to be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70, the Canadian Electrical Code (CE Code) Part I, CSA C22.2 No. 0, and NOM 001 SEDE.

b) Devices that monitor or control safety critical loads or personal protection circuits;

c) Devices intended to be installed in areas designated hazardous locations;

d) Devices intended to be installed for manufacturing process control.

This Standard specifies requirements for K-12 education systems to develop, implement, and continually improve a coherent, whole-school framework that prevents and reduces harms related to student substance use, and strengthens student well-being and learning. The framework is based on a socio-ecological foundation and is organized according to the Health Promoting Schools (HPS) components (environments and relationships, teaching and learning, partnerships and services, and policy) and is delivered across a multi-tiered system of supports (Tiers 1-3) and developmental stages (early/middle childhood: K-Grade 5, early/middle adolescence: Grades 6-9, late adolescence: Grades 10-12).

This Standard addresses the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of policies, programs, environments, and initiatives, including the following:

A.    Promotion of student well-being through safe, inclusive school environments that reduce modifiable risk factors and strengthen protective factors;

B.    Recommendations for a systemic, holistic approach that includes:

·    system-level governance (leadership, accountability, confidentiality and data stewardship, community engagement);

·    attention to psychosocial and structural determinants linked to substance use and health;

·    HPS-aligned school environments and relationships;

·    curriculum, literacy, and stigma reduction in teaching and learning;

·    accessibility and equity (e.g., Universal Design for Learning, accommodations);

·    early identification, targeted and individualized supports, crisis response, overdose response readiness, and clear referral pathways;

·    intersectoral partnerships with public health, primary care, mental health and substance use services, and community organizations;

·    workforce capacity building (professional learning, role clarity);

·    transitions across grades and from school to post-secondary or the workforce; and

·    evaluation, indicators, and continuous improvement;

C.    Protective factors to prioritize (e.g., positive relationships, safer climate, cultural safety, engagement, skills, attendance, timely access to help); and

D.    Indicators to measure success (e.g., fidelity to HPS components, Tier 1-3 coverage, student-reported climate and help-seeking, equity of access, reduced exclusionary discipline, timely referral and follow-up, staff confidence, workload).

Toute personne qui utilise cette norme a la responsabilité de consulter les autorités appropriées et d’établir des pratiques appropriées en matière de santé et sécurité conjointement avec les exigences réglementaires applicables avant son utilisation.

1.1 General

This Standard details the requirements for the selection and use, handling, filling, and unloading of highway tanks, TC portable tanks, and other large containers when they are used as a primary means of containment for the transportation of dangerous goods of Classes 3, 4, 5, 6.1, 8, and 9.

1.2 Responsibilities and Limitations

This Standard sets out certain minimum requirements for the selection of the appropriate means of containment for the transportation of dangerous goods. This Standard does not, however, prescribe selection of the materials of construction of the means of containment to ensure chemical compatibility with the dangerous goods. Consequently, it is essential to exercise competent technical and engineering judgment in conjunction with this Standard.

1.3 Application of regulatory and referenced requirements

Where any requirement of this Standard differs from the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Regulations, the requirements of the TDG Regulations apply. Where there is an inconsistency between this Standard and a referenced publication other than the TDG Act or Regulations, the requirements of this Standard prevail. Application of a referenced publication should be made only with careful consideration of this Standard’s reference to that particular publication.

1.4 Exclusion of TC/CTC/DOT 56 Tanks

This Standard does not apply to TC 56, CTC 56, and DOT 56 tanks. Requirements for these tanks are provided in CAN/CGSB-43.146. (See Clause 6.4.)

1.5 Exclusion of TC/CTC/DOT 57 Tanks

This Standard does not apply to TC 57, CTC 57, and DOT 57 tanks. Requirements for these tanks are provided in CAN/CGSB-43.146. (See Clause 6.5.)

1.6 Exclusion of TC/CTC/DOT/ICC 106 and 110 Tanks

This Standard does not apply to TC 106, TC 110, CTC 106, CTC110, DOT 106, DOT110, ICC106, and ICC110 tanks. Requirements for these tanks are provided in CGSB-43.149. (See Clause 6.6.)

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 (non-mandatory) to define their application.

1.8 Units of measurement

The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.

Note: Units for pressure refer to gauge pressure unless otherwise noted.
