1 Scope

1.1 General

1.1.1 Application

This Standard deals with the following subjects:

a) electrical safety associated with health care provision; and

b) essential electrical systems for health care facilities.

Note: See Clause 3 for the definition of “health care facility”.

1.1.2 Exclusions

1.1.2.1 Veterinary facilities

This Standard is not intended to apply to veterinary facilities, although its electrical safety principles could prove useful in the design, construction, and operation of such facilities.

1.1.2.2 Uninterruptible power systems

Uninterruptible power systems (UPS), which may be used for specific critical applications, are not covered by this Standard.

Note: If a UPS is used within a health care facility, refer to Annex K for more information.

1.1.3 Relationship to the Canadian Electrical Code

Provisions of this Standard are supplementary to the installation requirements specified in Sections 24 and 52 of CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, and require compliance with Canadian Electrical Code, Part II standards.

1.2 Electrical safety

1.2.1 Areas

This Standard applies to

a) patient care areas (PCA) of Class A, Class B, and Class C health care facilities; and

b) areas outside health care facilities that are intended for patient diagnosis, treatment, or care involving intentional electrical contact of any kind between patients and medical electrical equipment.

1.2.2 Electrical equipment

This Standard applies to

a) medical electrical equipment;

b) health-care-facility-owned non-medical electrical equipment;
