North American deviation

[Replace the scope of this Standard with the following]

This document provides safety related requirements for construction, operation under normal and abnormal conditions and the testing of fuel cell stacks and fuel cell modules. It applies to fuel cell stacks and fuel cell modules with the following electrolyte chemistry:

• alkaline, for e.g. potassium hydroxide;

• polymer electrolyte (including direct methanol fuel cells), for e. g. PEM, AEM (anion exchange membrane);

• acidic, for e.g. phosphoric acid;

• molten carbonate;

• solid oxide;

• aqueous solution of salts.

Fuel cell stacks and fuel cell modules can be provided with or without an enclosure and can be operated at significant pressurization levels or close to ambient pressure.

These requirements can be superseded by other standards for equipment containing fuel cell stacks and fuel cell modules as required for particular applications.

This document does not cover fuel cell road vehicle applications.

This document is not intended to limit or inhibit technological advancement. An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed in the requirements of this document can be examined and tested according to the purpose of these requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, can be considered to comply with this document.

The fuel cell stacks and fuel cell modules are components of a final product or system. The final products or systems that integrate these fuel cell stacks or fuel cell modules will require evaluation according to appropriate end-product safety requirements, such as:

CSA/ANSI FC 1 * CSA C22.2 No. 62282-3-100 for stationary fuel cell power systems; or

ANSI/CSA America FC 3 for portable fuel cell power systems;

Note 1 to entry: A fuel cell module can consist of one or more, but not all, integrated system components.  An assembly which is made up of all the integrated system components of a final product or system is not considered a module. (Figure 1A).

This document covers only up to the DC output of the fuel cell module.

This document does not apply to peripheral devices outside the fuel cell module as illustrated in Figure 1A.

This document does not cover the storage and delivery of fuel and oxidant to the fuel cell module.

This document does not cover fuel cell power systems (“modules” or “battery replacements”) for industrial trucks that are in the scope of UL 2267.

This standard covers the above-noted products that are intended to be installed or used in accordance with:

CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code (CE Code) Part I,

NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC)

Note 2 to entry: Fuel cell stacks and fuel cell modules are components integrated into fuel cell power systems that are then installed per the electrical codes noted above.

This document provides guidelines for the management of wastewater utilities and the assessment of wastewater services.
This document is applicable to publicly and privately owned and operated wastewater utilities but does not favour any particular ownership or operational
model.

NOTE 1 Wastewater is always generated when water is used or consumed. Accordingly, sources of wastewater can be residential, industrial, commercial or
institutional. Collected storm water or (melted) snow can also be considered as wastewater, as it often carries contaminants and pathogens picked up from
air or ground surfaces on its way to a collection system. In certain circumstances, especially in undeveloped areas, sanitary waste is collected in an
undiluted form.
This document addresses wastewater systems in their entirety and is applicable to systems at any level of development (e.g. pit latrines, on-site systems,
networks, treatment facilities).
The following are within the scope of this document:
— the definition of a language common to different stakeholders;
— objectives for the wastewater utility;
— guidelines for the management of wastewater utilities;
— service assessment criteria and related examples of performance indicators, all without setting any target values or thresholds.
The following are outside the scope of this document:
— methods of design and construction of wastewater systems;
— regulation of the management structure and the methodology of wastewater service activities of operation and management;
— regulation of the content of contracts or subcontracts;
— topics related to the systems inside buildings, between the point-of-discharge and the point-of-collection

This part of IEC 61810 applies to electromechanical elementary relays (non-specified time all-or-nothing relays) for incorporation into low voltage equipment (circuits up to 1000 V alternate current or 1500 V direct current). It defines the basic functional and safety requirements and safety-related aspects for applications in all areas of electrical engineering or electronics, such as:

• general industrial equipment,

• electrical facilities,

• electrical machines,

• electrical appliances for household and similar use,

• information technology and business equipment,

• building automation equipment,

• automation equipment,

• electrical installation equipment,

• medical equipment,

• control equipment,

• telecommunications,

• vehicles,

• transportation (e.g. railways).

Compliance with the requirements of this standard is verified by the type tests indicated.

In case the application of a relay determines additional requirements exceeding those specified in this standard, the relay should be assessed in line with this application in accordance with the relevant IEC standard(s) (e.g. IEC 60730-1, IEC 60335-1, IEC 60950-1).

1DV.1 D2  Modification to 1 by adding 1DV.1

1DV.1.1 In Canada, this Standard applies to the safety of such equipment designed and constructed for installation and use in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.

1.1  General

This Standard provides aging management requirements for concrete containment structures and their elements for nuclear power plants and is directed to the owners/operating organizations, designers, manufacturers, fabricators, and constructors of the concrete containment structures and their elements.

Concrete containment structures include the following structural and non-structural elements:

concrete;

reinforcement (pre-stressed and non-prestressed);

steel (e.g. liner, embedded parts, anchors);

non-metallic liners and coating systems;

joint sealants and water stops; and

elements necessary to support the containment structure (e.g. foundations).

 

 

Notes: This Standard may provide guidance for aging management of other concrete structures where applicable.

The aging management requirements for containment components are provided in CSA N290.20.

 

1.2  Existing concrete containment structures

This Standard provides requirements for aging management of existing concrete containment structures to address emerging challenges and ensure that existing concrete containment structures and their elements satisfy their functional and performance requirements in all different phases of their life cycle.

Note: The requirements of the CSA N287 series of Standards can be different depending on the phase of the life cycle of the structure, including design, construction, commissioning, operation (including long-term operation and extended shutdown), and decommissioning.

 

1.3  New concrete containment structures

This Standard provides requirements for aging management of new concrete containment structures to ensure that

aging is addressed during design and construction phases; and

concrete containment structures and their elements satisfy their functional and performance requirements in all phases of their life cycle.

1.4 Interface

This Standard is used in concert with the other N287 series of Standards as applicable.

 

1.5   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.
