1.1       Inclusions

This Standard applies to ground heat exchanger systems that use groundwater to provide a heat source (and/or heat sink) for ground source heat pump systems.  These systems pump water from aquifers to be used as a heat exchange medium in a heat pump system and return the water to the same aquifers. These systems are commonly referred to as ”Open Loop Systems” or  “Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage Systems (ATES)”.   

1.2       Requirements

This Standard covers the minimum requirements for site survey, design considerations, material selections, installation, testing and verification, documentation, commissioning, and decommissioning.

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.

1.4  Units of measure

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.

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

[Add the following]

This Standard covers the above noted products that are intended to be installed or used in accordance with CSA C22.1, the Canadian electrical Code, Part I.

This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.

This International Standard deals with the safety of outdoor barbecues for household and similar use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V.

Appliances not intended for normal household use but that nevertheless may 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.

NOTE 101 Examples of such appliances are those used by restaurants and hotels.

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

NOTE 102 Attention is drawn to the fact that

- for appliances intended to be used on board ships, additional requirements may be necessary;
- in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities.

NOTE 103 This standard does not apply to

- barbecues for indoor use (IEC 60335-2-9);
- appliances intended to burn charcoal or similar combustible fuels;
- 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).
