This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.

This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electric dry irons and steam irons, including those with a separate water reservoir or boiler having a capacity not exceeding 5 l, for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.

Appliances not intended for normal household use, but which 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, 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.

Attention is drawn to the fact that

– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;

– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national authorities responsible for the safety of pressure vessels. and similar authorities.

This standard does not apply to

– ironers (IEC 60335-2-44);

– ironing boards;

– appliances designed 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).

Note: See Annex F for explanatory material.

1.1 Inclusions

Note: See Annex F for explanatory material.

 

1.1.1 Vehicle maintenance

This Code applies to the portions of a motor vehicle maintenance facility where hydrogen gas-fuelled vehicles and hydrogen transport trailers are maintained, repaired, or stored during maintenance or repair, including areas and systems ancillary thereto. If a vehicle being maintained has multiple fuels and one of the fuels is compressed hydrogen gas, then the requirements of this Code would apply.

Note:

See Annex  F for explanatory material.

See Annex A for facilities for large storage capacity vehicles and trailers.

1.1.2 Vehicle parking

This Code also contains information on private parking structures where hydrogen gas-fuelled vehicles are parked or stored, including areas and systems ancillary thereto. See Annex D.

 

1.1.3 Parking structure requirements

For purposes of this Code, private parking structures have the same requirements as minor repair areas.

 

1.2 Exclusions

The scope of this Code does not include

a) indoor or outdoor refuelling operations;

b) open parking structures;

c) public parking structures of any construction;

d) other fuels used for vehicles; or

e) liquid hydrogen (LH2) vehicles;

f) natural gas vehicle maintenance facilities, which are covered in CSA B401.1;

g) propane vehicle maintenance facilities, which are covered in CSA B401.2; or

h) battery electric vehicle maintenance facilities, which are covered in CSA B401.4.

 

Note: See Annex F for explanatory material.

1.3 Purpose

The purpose of this Code is to provide reasonable means to manage the risks associated with the maintenance and repair of vehicles fuelled with gaseous hydrogen (GH2) inside motor vehicle maintenance facilities.

Note: See Annex F for explanatory material.

1.4 Terminology

The terms “fuelling” and “refuelling” are used interchangeably in this Code. The terms “park” and “store” and all derivatives thereof are used interchangeably in this Code.

1.5 Units of measure

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

Notes:

1) IEEE/ASTM SI 10 or ISO 80000-1 can be used as a guide when converting Imperial units to metric units.

2) Less than 1 m will be shown in mm.

3) 1 m or more will be shown in m to the nearest 0.1 m.

4) Ft/in conversions will be rounded to the nearest full inch using traditional rounding conventions.

5) Pressures will be rounded to the nearest whole value using traditional rounding conventions.

6) Where the word “gallon” is used in this Code, it indicates a U.S. gallon equivalent to 3.785 L water capacity.

1.6 Gauge pressure

All references to pressure throughout this Code are to be considered gauge pressures, unless otherwise specified.

1.7 Mandatory language

In this Code, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Code; “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 Code.

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.

Note: See Annex F for explanatory material.

1.1 Application

This Standard applies to free-standing poles of ferrous metal, aluminum, polymeric, concrete, fibre-reinforced structures, and wood, and to their accessories, for use in the support of lighting equipment having ratings of 1000 V and less and intended to be installed in the commercial and industrial nonhazardous locations in accordance with the Rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I. This Standard includes the electrical features of poles as well as to the mechanical strength aspects and the ability to support their design loads. The poles may also serve as supports for aerial conductors, PV modules, wind turbines used to supply the lighting equipment, smart city communication, and data transmission devices, and, in the case of concrete or metal poles, provide wireways for conductors entering the poles.

This Standard does not apply to the erection of poles or the installation of accessories on site.

Notes:

1. Lighting equipment includes luminaires, electric signs, and traffic lights.

2. Lighting poles for residential applications less than 4 m in height may be evaluated to the requirements of CSA C22.2 No. 250.0 for electrical safety only and be marked NOT EVALUATED FOR STRUCTURAL STRENGTH/N’A PAS ÉTÉ ÉVALUÉ QUANT À LA RÉSISTANCE STRUCTURALE.

1.2 Dual measurements

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.

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.
