1.2   Exclusions

1.2.1

This Standard does not comprise a comprehensive set of requirements for home and community care organizations. The scope of the development of this standard is to address the identified need for dementia-specific care requirements for home and community care. The standard shall be used as a supplement to general home and community care standards, to help ensure that the needs of persons living with dementia within the program population are planned for and properly addressed.  It can be used to support implementation or improvement of services to persons living with dementia in both new and existing programs.

1.2.2

This Standard does not address clinical practice.

1.2.3

This standard was created for home and community care settings exclusive of long-term care (LTC), however many of the principles herein are also applicable to LTC settings.

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.

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.

1.1 This Standard applies to 60 – 250°C single- or multiple-conductor jacketed or unjacketed, integral or nonintegral cables and single or multiple coaxial cables for telephone and other communication circuits such as voice, data, and audio for on-premise customer systems. These cables are may contain one or more optical fibre members. For the purpose of this Standard, a coaxial cable or coaxial member conductor is a single conductor with a shield. For the purpose of this Standard, a single- or multiple-conductor unjacketed cable is a cross-connect wire.

1.2 This Standard applies to communications cables that are intended primarily for installation in accordance with Section 60 – Electrical Communication Systems of the Canadian Electrical Code Part I, CSA C22.1; and Article 800 – General Requirements for Communications Systems of the National Electrical Code (NEC)NFPA 70. They are rated for 300 V applications, but are not so marked.

NOTE: See Annex A for a complete list of wire types covered by this Standard and the specific electrical codes for which they are intended.

1.3 This Standard does not apply to communications cords.

1.5 In the US, Type CMH is not recognized in the NEC.

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.
