Draft Amendment to C22.1

1.1 Age groups

This Standard provides requirements for public-use playground equipment based on the anthropometric measurements of the 95th percentile of children aged 18 months to 12 years.

Notes:

1) The level of challenge required and desired by children varies enormously with age, physical development, and emotional development; therefore, it is almost impossible to design a piece of playground equipment that meets the needs of all children. Children younger than 18 months and children aged 13 years and older typically do not use the equipment covered in this Standard.  

2) The sixth year of a child’s life (when the child is five years old) is accepted as a transitional year. Consequently, the requirements in this Standard are split into two age groupings: 18 months to 5 years and 5 years to 12 years. The overlap of the 5-year-old child is deliberate and acknowledges the transitional nature of the sixth year of life.

1.2 Considerations for children's development and play needs

This Standard takes into account the physical size, special characteristics, and developmental needs of children so that appropriate and challenging play experiences are provided.

1.3 Coverage

This Standard applies to outdoor public-use playground equipment found at schools, parks, childcare facilities, institutions, multiple-family dwellings, private resorts and recreation developments, restaurants, and other areas of public use. See Clause 3.

1.4 Technical requirements and practices for playground equipment

This Standard contains recommendations on technical requirements and practices applicable to the design, manufacture/construction, installation, maintenance, and inspection of public-use playground equipment and its related spaces. The provider of each of these areas is responsible for meeting the applicable requirements and recommendations of each, but it is the owner/operator’s responsibility to confirm if the requirements and recommendations of this Standard are followed.

1.5 Climate resilient playground equipment and surfacing

Climate change impacts already experienced in Canada include extreme weather events that have led to loss of life, service disruptions, infrastructure damage, and increased operational costs. Operating, maintaining, and designing playground equipment and surfacing that can anticipate, cope with, recover from, and adapt to climate-related shocks and stressors is crucial for the safety and well-being of users. This Standard contains recommendations on technical requirements and practices to support the climate resilient playground equipment and surfacing.

Annex K provides more information on thermal comfort of playground equipment and surfacing.    

1.6 Purpose and intent

This Standard is intended to promote and encourage the provision and use of playgrounds that are well designed, well maintained, innovative, and challenging and, in so doing, contribute to the development of healthy children.

1.7 Safety requirements for playground environments

The requirements of this Standard are intended to minimize the likelihood of life-threatening or serious injuries by mitigating the identified hazards typically presented in various types of playground environments and play components.

Notes:

1)    This standard does not imply that an injury cannot be incurred when the surfacing and/or equipment complies with the requirements of this standard. 

2)    Annex J provides references for learning more about hazard identification and risk/benefit assessments and examples of playground-focused applications.

1.8 Application

This Standard applies to:

a) public-use playgrounds built, protective surfacing installed, and public-use playground equipment manufactured after the date of publication of this edition; and

b) additions to, and replacement parts for, public-use playgrounds installed after the date of publication of this edition.

1.9 Inclusions

This Standard provides requirements for outdoor public-use playground equipment in a playground that is provided for children for play, although, in some cases, this playground equipment was not originally produced for that purpose. Other objects or furnishings not primarily intended for play, such as fences, benches, tables, landscape elements, independent shade structures, borders intended to contain protective surfacing, and plant and natural materials, are not covered. Loose play materials are also not covered.

Note: The equipment configurations shown in the figures in this Standard are examples only. Configurations other than those shown can be designed and built to meet the requirements specified in the clauses of this Standard.

1.10 Exclusions

This Standard does not apply to the following:

a) sport, fitness, or gymnasium environments;

b) slides that end in water;

c) soft, contained play equipment that has controlled public access, such as that provided in commercial establishments (e.g., restaurants and department stores);

d) play equipment intended for backyard use;

e) amusement rides;

f) family daycare as defined by provincial/territorial childcare regulations; and

g) adventure playgrounds as defined in the following note.

Note: Adventure playgrounds are a specific type of non-commercial area for play. They are fenced and secured and have constant supervision during use by “playworkers”. They are characterized by a developmental approach supporting free play; the absence of adult-built playground equipment; and the provision of construction materials, tools, and loose parts.

1.11 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; “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.

1.12 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.

Unless otherwise specified, a tolerance of ±2% is applied to each dimension presented in this Standard.

1.1 Groupes d’âge

Cette norme énonce les exigences visant les équipements d’aires de jeu publiques en fonction des mensurations anthropométriques du 95e centile des enfants âgés de 18 mois à 12 ans.

Notes :

1) Le niveau de stimulation requis et désiré par les enfants varie énormément selon l’âge, le développement physique et le développement affectif. Il est donc presque impossible de concevoir des équipements d’aires de jeu qui répondent aux besoins de tous les enfants. En général, les enfants de moins de 18 mois et ceux de 13 ans et plus n’utilisent pas les équipements visés par cette norme.

2) La sixième année de la vie d’un enfant (quand l’enfant à cinq ans) est reconnue comme une année de transition. Les exigences de la norme sont donc séparées en deux catégories d’âge d’enfants : de 18 mois à 5 ans et de 5 à 12 ans. Les enfants de 5 ans sont délibérément inclus dans les deux groupes d’âge pour tenir compte de la nature transitoire de la sixième année de la vie.

1.2 Considérations relatives au développement des enfants et à leurs besoins en matière de jeu

Cette norme tient compte de la taille des enfants, de leurs particularités et de leurs besoins de développement afin d’offrir des expériences de jeu appropriées et stimulantes.

1.3 Portée

Cette norme s’applique aux équipements d’aires de jeu extérieures publiques aménagées dans les écoles, les parcs, les services de garde à l’enfance, les institutions, les immeubles d’habitation, les centres de villégiature et de loisirs privés, les restaurants et les autres endroits publics. Voir l’article 3.

1.4 Exigences techniques et pratiques relatives aux équipements des aires de jeu

Cette norme présente des recommandations sur les exigences techniques et les principes de conception, de fabrication/construction, d’installation, d’entretien et d’inspection des équipements d’aires de jeu publiques et leurs espaces connexes. Le fournisseur de chacun de ces domaines est responsable du respect des exigences et des recommandations qui lui sont pertinentes, mais il incombe au propriétaire/à l’exploitant de confirmer si les exigences et recommandations de cette norme sont respectées.

1.5 Équipements des aires de jeu et revêtements résistant aux intempéries

Parmi les répercussions des changements climatiques observées au Canada, il y a déjà eu des phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes qui ont entraîné des pertes de vie, des interruptions de service, des dommages aux infrastructures et une augmentation des coûts d’exploitation. Il est essentiel, pour la sécurité et le bien-être des utilisateurs, d’exploiter, d’entretenir et de concevoir des équipements d’aires de jeu et des revêtements adaptés au climat capables d’affronter ses impacts et ses contraintes, et d’être remis en état, le cas échéant. Cette norme énonce des recommandations sur les exigences techniques et les principes de conception d’équipements des aires de jeu et de leurs revêtements pour qu’ils résistent aux intempéries.

L’annexe K fournit des renseignements complémentaires sur le confort thermique des équipements des aires de jeu et de leurs revêtements.    

1.6 Objet et raison d’être

Cette norme vise à promouvoir et encourager l’aménagement et l’utilisation d’aires de jeu bien conçues, bien entretenues, innovatrices et stimulantes et, par le fait même, à contribuer au sain développement des enfants.

1.7 Exigences de sécurité relatives aux aires de jeu

Les exigences de cette norme visent à réduire au minimum la possibilité de blessures graves ou qui mettent la vie en danger en réduisant les dangers connus pouvant se présenter dans différents types d’environnements et de composantes de jeu.

Notes :

Si la conception et le revêtement d’un équipement sont conformes aux exigences de cette norme, cela ne signifie pas qu’aucune blessure ne risque de survenir lors de son utilisation.

L’annexe J fournit des références pour en apprendre plus à propos de l’identification des dangers, de l’évaluation des risques et des avantages ainsi que des exemples d’applications axées sur les aires de jeu.

1.8 Application

Cette norme s’applique aux :

a) aires de jeu publiques, revêtements de protection et équipements d’aires de jeu publiques qui ont été conçus, fabriqués ou installés après la date de publication de cette édition de la norme; et

b) les éléments ajoutés aux aires de jeu publiques et les pièces de remplacement installées après la date de publication de cette édition de la norme.

1.9 Éléments visés par cette norme

Cette norme énonce des exigences qui visent l’équipement d’aires de jeu extérieures installé dans une aire de jeu publique à l’usage des enfants même si, dans certains cas, cet équipement pas été conçu expressément à cette fin. Les autres éléments ou pièces de mobilier qui ne sont pas destinés à servir d’équipement de jeu, comme les clôtures, les bancs, les tables, les éléments paysagers, les structures pare-soleil, les bordures destinées à retenir le revêtement de protection, les plantes et tous matériaux naturels, ne sont pas visés par la norme. Le matériel de jeu libre n’est pas visé par la norme.

Note : Les configurations des équipements illustrées dans les figures de cette norme ne sont que des exemples. Des configurations autres que celles indiquées pourraient être conçues et construites pour répondre aux exigences indiquées aux articles de cette norme.

1.10 Éléments non visés par cette norme

La norme ne s’applique pas :

a) aux terrains de sports, aux salles d’exercices ou aux gymnases;

b) aux glissoires qui se terminent dans l’eau;

c) aux équipements de jeu fermés et à éléments souples dont l’accès public est contrôlé, comme ceux qui se trouvent dans des établissements commerciaux (p. ex., restaurants et grands magasins);

d) aux équipements de jeu domestiques;

e) aux manèges des parcs d’attractions;

f) aux garderies en milieu familial visées par les règlements provinciaux ou territoriaux; et

g) aux terrains d’aventure, comme définis à la note qui suit.

Note : Les terrains d’aventure sont un type précis d’aire de jeu non commerciale. Ils sont clôturés et sécurisés et sont constamment surveillés lors de leur utilisation par des « surveillants de jeu ». Ils se caractérisent par une approche développementale qui soutient le jeu libre; l’absence d’équipement d’aires de jeu construits par des adultes; et une offre de matériaux de construction, d’outils et de matériaux libres.

1.11 Terminologie

Dans cette norme, le terme « doit » indique une exigence, c’est-à-dire une disposition que l’utilisateur doit respecter pour assurer la conformité à la norme; « devrait » indique une recommandation ou ce qu’il est conseillé mais non obligatoire de faire; et « peut » indique une possibilité ou ce qu’il est permis de faire.

Les notes qui accompagnent les articles ne comprennent pas de prescriptions ni de recommandations. Elles servent à séparer du texte les explications ou les renseignements qui ne font pas proprement partie de la norme.

Les notes au bas des figures et des tableaux font partie de ceux-ci et peuvent être rédigées comme des prescriptions.

Les annexes sont qualifiées de normatives (obligatoires) ou d’informatives (facultatives) pour en préciser l’application.

1.12 Unités de mesure

Les valeurs indiquées en unités SI sont les valeurs officielles dans cette norme. Les valeurs entre parenthèses sont données à titre d’information et pour fin de comparaison uniquement.

This part of CISPR 16 specifies the methods of measurement of radiated disturbance phenomena in the frequency range of 9 kHz to 18 GHz. The aspects of measurement uncertainty are specified in CISPR 16-4-1 and CISPR 16-4-2.

NOTE In accordance with IEC Guide 107 [13]1, CISPR 16-2-3 is a basic EMC publication for use by product committees of the IEC. As stated in Guide 107, product committees are responsible for determining the applicability of the EMC standard. CISPR and its subcommittees are prepared to co-operate with product committees in the evaluation of the value of particular EMC tests for specific products. 

This part of CISPR 16 provides procedures and supporting information for the calibration of antennas for determining antenna factors (AF) that are applicable to antennas intended for use in radiated disturbance measurements.

It has the status of a basic EMC Standard in accordance with IEC Guide 107, Electromagnetic compatibility – Guide to the drafting of electromagnetic compatibility publications.

The AF of an antenna is influenced by nearby surroundings and by its position in space relative to the radiating source. This standard focuses on antenna calibrations that provide the AF in a free-space environment in the direction of the boresight of the antenna. The frequency range addressed is 9 kHz to 18 GHz. The relevant antenna types covered in this standard are monopole, loop, dipole, biconical, log-periodic dipole-array (LPDA), hybrid and horn antennas.

Guidance is also provided on measurement uncertainties associated with each calibration method and configuration, and the test instrumentation used. 

NOTE Blue coloured text within this document indicates text aligned with CISPR 32. CISPR 32 contains the appropriate emission requirements above 150 kHz for the equipment within the scope of this document. 

This document applies to multimedia equipment (MME) as defined in 3.1.24 and having a rated AC or DC supply voltage not exceeding 600 V.

MME within the scope of CISPR 20 or CISPR 24 is within the scope of this document. 

MME with a broadcast reception function is within the scope of this document, see Annex A. MME with non-broadcast wireless interfaces is also within the scope of this document, however, compliance with this document does not require the assessment of the performance of these interfaces

MME intended primarily for professional use is within the scope of this document.

MME for which immunity requirements in the frequency range covered by this document are explicitly formulated in other CISPR documents (except CISPR 20 and CISPR 24) are excluded from the scope of this document. 

The objectives of this document are:

• to establish requirements which provide an adequate level of intrinsic immunity so that the MME will operate as intended in its environment in the frequency range 0 kHz to 400 GHz;

• to specify procedures to ensure the reproducibility of tests and the repeatability of results. 

Due to technology convergence of the functions of MME, the performance criteria have been determined on a function-orientated basis rather than on an equipment-orientated basis. 

1 Scope

This part of IEC 61000, which is a Technical Report, aims to describe and interpret various terms considered to be of basic importance to concepts and practical application in the design and evaluation of electromagnetically compatible equipment and systems.

In addition, attention is drawn to the distinction between electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests carried out in a standardized set-up and those carried out at other locations, for example at premises where a device, equipment or system is manufactured or at the location where a device, equipment or system is installed (in situ tests or measurements). 

This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following. 

This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electric tumble dryers intended for household  and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances including direct current (DC) supplied appliances. 

This standard applies to the drying function of washing machines having a drying cycle. 

This standard also deals with the safety of heat pump type tumble dryers. These appliances may use flammable refrigerants. Additional requirements for these appliances are given in normative Annex AA. 

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. 

Examples of such appliances are tumble dryers for communal use in blocks of flats or in launderettes. 

As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons. 

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 water supply authorities. 

This standard does not apply to

– appliances intended 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);

– appliances incorporating steam generating devices in which steam is produced at a pressure exceeding 50 kPa.

This Standard specifies the loading and strength requirements of overhead lines derived from reliability-based design principles. These requirements apply to transmission lines, but can also be applied to other lines.

This Standard deals with design criteria, using reliability concepts and employing probabilistic and/or semi-probabilistic methods. For the use and application of this Standard, Canadian climatic data have been provided based on an analysis of historical data as well as Canada-specific modelled data to account for the effects of climate change.

Although the design criteria in this standard apply to new lines, many concepts can be used to address the design and reliability requirements for refurbishment, upgrading and uprating of existing lines.

This document does not cover the detailed design of line components such as supports, foundations, conductors or insulator strings.

General requirements, clearances, separations, and spacings of overhead lines are specified in CSA C22.3 No. 1.
