1.1 Inclusions

This Standard defines the requirements for performance, installation and application, and performance verification of mechanical ventilation systems.  This Standard applies to systems that are capable of providing minimum controlled rates of outdoor air to the habitable spaces of those single family dwelling units that

a) fall within the Scope of Part 9 of the National Building Code of Canada; and

b) are self contained with respect to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.

This standard also applies to dwelling units that fall outside the scope of Part 9 of the NBC as long as the low flow and high low rates are provided by a balanced system where the supply and exhaust air flows are within 10% of each other and are self contained with respect to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.

This Standard also applies to the installation requirements for ventilation components such as supply and exhaust ventilation fans and associated equipment, including bathroom exhaust fans, kitchen exhaust fans, cooktop hoods, with or without ducts, and downdraft exhaust fans intended for operation in the dwelling unit, whether or not a part of a ventilation system conforming to this Standard.

This Standard also applies to the installation requirements for self contained ducted heat or enthalpy recovery ventilators intended for operation in the dwelling unit, whether or not they constitute a part of a ventilation system conforming to this Standard. The applicable heat or enthalpy recovery ventilators have a maximum rated capacity of not more than 236 L/s (500 cfm).)

The amounts of ventilation and exhaust air specified in this Standard are intended to deal with contaminants at the rates of generation normally encountered in residential dwellings. Acceptable indoor air quality also requires that the rate of contaminant generation be controlled.

1.2 Exclusions

The outdoor air is assumed to, in general, be of adequate quality to meet the needs of the occupants.

The outdoor air requirements of this Standard are not intended to provide for the combustion and dilution air needs of vented combustion appliances.  These are specified in the Standards referred to in Clause 2.

This Standard does not consider the air supply required for combustion and dilution in fireplaces, required to account for that exhausted through the fireplace flue.

The outdoor air requirements of this Standard are not intended to provide sufficient ventilation for indoor thermal comfort in hot weather.

This Standard does not apply to the installation of recirculating forced air heating and air conditioning systems that are not used for ventilation.

This Standard does not mandate the way in which the occupant operates the system.  The rates in operation depend on the preference of the occupants.

In determining the capacity of the mechanical ventilation system, this Standard takes no account of the ventilating effects of uncontrolled air leakage, of natural ventilation through open windows, or of other such openings operated by the occupants.

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 Users

This Standard is intended to be used by designers of ventilation systems within the scope of this standard as well as those responsible for installing and inspecting them

 1.5 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 in parentheses are based on a rounded conversion of 2 cfm/L/s and 250 Pa/in. w.c. which are deemed to be acceptable for the purpose of this standard.

This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.

This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of sealed (hermetic and semi-hermetic type) motor-compressors, their protection and control systems, if any, which are intended for use in equipment for household and similar purposes and which conform with the standards applicable to such equipment. It applies to motor-compressors tested separately, under the most severe conditions that may be expected to occur in normal use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase motor-compressors and 600 V for other motor-compressors.

This standard also covers

–     multi-speed motor-compressors, that are motor-compressors, the speed of which can be set to different values;

–     variable capacity motor-compressors that are motor-compressors where the capacity of the compressor is controlled at fixed speeds.

NOTE 101 Examples of equipment which contain motor-compressors are

–     tumble dryers (IEC 60335-2-11);
–     refrigerating appliances, ice-cream appliances and ice-makers (IEC 60335-2-24);
–     electrical heat pumps, air-conditioners and dehumidifiers (IEC 60335-2-40);

–     refrigerating systems and heat pumps (ISO 5149-2).

This standard does not supersede the requirements of standards relevant to the particular appliance in which the motor-compressor is used. However, if the motor-compressor type used complies with this standard, the tests for the motor-compressor specified in the particular appliance standard may not need to be made in the particular appliance or assembly. If the motor-compressor control system is associated with the particular appliance control system, additional tests could be necessary on the final appliance.

So far as is practical, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by motor-compressors used in appliances which are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, it does not in general take into account

–     the use of appliances by young children or infirm persons without supervision;
–     playing with the appliances by young children.

NOTE 102 Attention is drawn to the fact that

–     for motor-compressors intended to be used in appliances in vehicles or on board ships, additional require­ments could 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.

This standard does not apply to

–     motor-compressors designed exclusively for industrial purposes;
–     motor-compressors used in 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).

NOTE 103 If motor-compressors for refrigerant R-744 used in appliances with a transcritical refrigeration system are equipped with pressure relief devices, compliance with the requirements for these devices is checked during the tests on the final appliance.

1.1 Facilities

1.1.1 Types of facilities

1.1.1.1 

This Standard addresses the establishment and implementation of ALs for nuclear facilities

Notes:

1) Nuclear facilities that typically use the CSA N288 series of Standards consist of nuclear facilities, and uranium mines and mills. The conventional waste management facilities (e.g., landfills, incinerators, and sewage treatment plants handling non-radioactive material) that have final discharge points subject to ARLs on a nuclear facility (or uranium mine and mill) are included in the scope of this Standard.

2) Not all nuclear facilities will need ALs. See Clause 5 on criteria for establishing ALs.

1.1.1.2 

This Standard may also apply to the establishment and implementation of ALs for

a) a facility that includes:

An irradiator that uses more than 1015 Bq of a nuclear substance;

An irradiator that requires shielding that is not part of the irradiator and that is designed to deliver a dose of radiation at a rate exceeding 1 cGy/min at a distance of 1 m;

a radioactive source teletherapy machine;

a particle accelerator that is capable of producing nuclear energy and has a beam energy of less than 50 MeV for beams of particles with a mass equal to or less than 4 atomic mass units;

a particle accelerator that is capable of producing nuclear energy and has a beam energy of no more than 15 MeV per atomic mass unit for beams of particles with a mass greater than 4 atomic mass units; or

a brachytherapy remote afterloader.

 

Note: The list of facilities under Clause 1.1.1.2(a) corresponds to the definition of “Class II nuclear facility” under the Class II Nuclear Facilities and Prescribed Equipment Regulations.

b) facilities that use or store naturally occurring radioactive materials;

c) institutions operating under the authority of a nuclear substances and radiation devices license; or

d) low-level controlled effluent or emissions of nuclear and hazardous substances released to the environment due to existing exposure situations such as those resulting from the contamination of areas with radioactive materials produced or used in past activities.

Note: In these situations, the operator of the facility is responsible for determining the applicability and suitability of this Standard in consultation with the AHJ.

 

1.1.2 Facility lifecycle

This Standard may be applied during the following phases of a facility lifecycle

a) site preparation, construction, and commissioning;

b) operations; and

c) decommissioning.

Notes:

1) The specifics of how an AL is developed and implemented may change over the lifecycle of the facility. For example, there is unlikely to be effluent during site preparation and construction. Therefore, ALs may be established but not implemented for that phase.

2) Elements of this Standard, such as the consideration and prospective development of ALs, may also be applicable during facility design.

3) The operational lifecycle of a  nuclear facility is assumed to include storage with surveillance.

4) A facility might have a licence post-decommissioning; however, it assumed there are no longer controlled releases, and, therefore, ALs are not required.

1.2 Operating conditions

The establishment and implementation of ALs described in this Standard are applicable for contaminants and physical stressors identified in an effluent and emissions monitoring program (e.g., CSA N288.5) during normal operations over the lifecycle of a nuclear facility.

 

Note: Any release resulting from a deviation from routine operational practice that is expected to occur once or several times during the operating lifetime of a nuclear facility or licensed activity (i.e., reasonably foreseeable upset events such as minor leaks and spills) should be assessed to determine whether it is considered part of normal operation.

 

1.3 Contaminants, physical stressors, and final discharge points

1.3.1 

This Standard is to be applied to develop ALs at the final discharge point for those contaminants or physical stressors monitored in an effluent and emissions monitoring program.

Note The effluent and emissions monitoring program is typically developed though CSA N288.5. Contaminants of potential concern (COPCs) may include nuclear or hazardous substances or physical stressors.

1.3.2 

The physical parameter temperature is outside the scope of this Standard.

1.4 Interpretation of data

This Standard provides guidance on the interpretation of data that is relevant to the development of ALs.

Note: Users are cautioned that the statutes, regulations, licences, and permits that govern a nuclear facility can impose requirements regarding data analysis and interpretation that differ from those described in this Standard. The operator of the nuclear facility is responsible for determining what data analysis and interpretations are necessary to confirm compliance with all statutes, regulations, licences, or permits that govern the operation of the nuclear facility.

1.5 Terminology

1.5.1 

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.

1.5.2 

In this Standard, “shall be considered” or “shall consider” means that the user shall consider the possibility, make a decision, and document the reason(s) for that decision.

Note: Examples of decisions can include no action, operating procedures, design features.

1.1 Installations

1.1.1 Types d’installations

1.1.1.1 

Cette norme vise l’établissement et la mise en œuvre de seuils d’intervention pour les installations nucléaires.

Notes :

1)  Les installations nucléaires qui utilisent généralement la série de normes CSA N288 sont les installations nucléaires ainsi que les mines et usines de concentration d’uranium. Les installations classiques de gestion des déchets (p. ex., sites d’enfouissement, incinérateurs et usines de traitement des eaux usées traitant des matières non radioactives) dont les points de rejet final sont assujettis aux limites de rejet autorisées pour une installation nucléaire (ou pour une mine ou une usine de concentration d’uranium) sont comprises dans le domaine d’application de cette norme.

2) Des seuils d’intervention ne sont pas requis pour toutes les installations nucléaires. Voir l’article 5 pour obtenir les exigences relatives à l’établissement de seuils d’intervention.

1.1.1.2 

Cette norme peut aussi s’appliquer à l’établissement et la mise en œuvre de seuils d’intervention pour

a)  une installation qui comprend :

i.      un irradiateur qui utilise plus de 1015 Bq d’une substance nucléaire;

ii.     un irradiateur qui nécessite un blindage ne faisant pas partie de l’irradiateur et qui est conçu pour administrer des doses de rayonnement à plus de 1 cGy/min à une distance de 1 m;

iii.    un appareil de téléthérapie à source radioactive;

iv.    un accélérateur de particules qui a la capacité de produire de l’énergie nucléaire et dont l’énergie de faisceau est inférieure à 50 MeV pour des faisceaux de particules de masse égale ou inférieure à 4 unités de masse atomique;

v.     un accélérateur de particules qui a la capacité de produire de l’énergie nucléaire et dont l’énergie de faisceau est égale ou inférieure à 15 MeV par unité de masse atomique pour des faisceaux de particules de masse supérieure à 4 unités de masse atomique; ou

vi.    un appareil de curiethérapie à projecteur de source télécommandé.

 

Note : La liste des installations figurant à l’article 1.1.1.2(a) correspond à la définition d’une « installation nucléaire de catégorie II » du Règlement sur les installations nucléaires et l’équipement réglementé de catégorie II.

 

b) des installations qui utilisent ou entreposent des substances radioactives d’origine naturelle

c)  les institutions exploitées en vertu d’un permis d’utilisation de substances nucléaires et d’appareils à rayonnement; ou

d) les effluents ou émissions contrôlés de bas niveau de substances nucléaires et dangereuses rejetées dans l’environnement en raison de situations d’exposition existantes, comme celles résultant de la contamination de zones contenant des matières radioactives produites ou utilisées dans le cadre d’activités antérieures.

 

Note : Dans ces cas, l’exploitant de l’installation est responsable de déterminer la pertinence de cette norme en consultation avec l’autorité compétente.

1.1.2 Cycle de vie de l’installation

Cette norme peut être appliquée pendant les phases suivantes d’un cycle de vie de l’installation :

a) la préparation, la construction et la mise en service du site;

b) l’exploitation; et

c) le déclassement.

Notes :

1) La façon dont un seuil d’intervention est élaboré et mis en œuvre peut changer au cours du cycle de vie de l’installation. Par exemple, la présence d’un effluent est peu probable pendant la préparation du site et la construction. Par conséquent, les seuils d’intervention peuvent être établis, mais non mis en œuvre pour cette phase.

2) Des éléments de cette norme, comme la détermination de la pertinence de seuils d’intervention et l’établissement de tels seuils d’intervention, peuvent aussi s’appliquer pendant la conception de l’installation.

3) Il est supposé que la vie utile d’une installation nucléaire comprend l’entreposage surveillé.

4) Une installation pourrait détenir un permis après le déclassement; toutefois, on suppose qu’il n’y a plus de rejets contrôlés, et, par conséquent, que des seuils d’intervention ne sont pas requis.

1.2 Conditions d’exploitation

L’établissement et la mise en œuvre des seuils d’intervention décrits dans cette norme s’appliquent aux contaminants et stresseurs physiques énumérés dans un programme de surveillance des effluents et des émissions (p. ex., CSA N288.5) en condition d’exploitation normale pendant la durée du cycle de vie d’une installation nucléaire.

Note : Tout rejet résultant d’un écart par rapport aux activités d’exploitation courantes et pouvant survenir une fois ou quelques fois pendant la durée de vie de l’installation nucléaire ou de l’activité autorisée (c.-à-d. des incidents raisonnablement prévisibles, comme des fuites et des déversements mineurs) devrait être évalué afin de déterminer s’il est considéré comme faisant partie de l’exploitation normale.

1.3 Contaminants, stresseurs physiques et points de rejet final

1.3.1 

Cette norme est à utiliser pour l’établissement des seuils d'intervention au point de rejet final pour les contaminants ou stresseurs physiques surveillés dans le cadre d’un programme de surveillance des effluents et des émissions.

Note :

1) Le programme de surveillance des effluents et des émissions est généralement élaboré selon la CSA N288.5. Les contaminants potentiellement préoccupants (CPP) peuvent être des substances nucléaires ou dangereuses ou des stresseurs physiques.

 

1.3.2 

La température n’est pas traitée par cette norme.

1.4 Interprétation des données

Cette norme énonce des lignes directrices visant l’interprétation des données pertinentes à l’établissement de seuils d’intervention.

Note : Les utilisateurs sont avisés que les lois, les règlements, les licences et les permis qui régissent l’installation nucléaire sont susceptibles d’imposer des exigences concernant l’analyse et l’interprétation des données qui diffèrent de celles prescrites dans cette norme. C’est à l’exploitant de l’installation nucléaire qu’il incombe de déterminer quelles analyses et quelle interprétation sont nécessaires pour assurer la conformité aux lois, aux règlements, aux licences ou aux permis qui régissent l’exploitation de l’installation nucléaire.

1.5 Terminologie

1.5.1 

Dans cette norme, le terme «doit» indique une exigence, c’est-à-dire une prescription 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.

1.5.2 

Dans cette norme, l’expression «doit être pris en compte» ou «doit prendre en compte» signifie que l’utilisateur doit prendre en compte la possibilité, prendre une décision, et justifier par écrit cette décision.

Note : Une décision pourrait être de ne rien faire, un mode opératoire, un élément de conception.

This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following. 

This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of 
– stand-alone electric spin extractors, and 
– spin extractors incorporated in washing machines that have separate containers for washing and spin extraction for household and similar purposes that have a capacity not exceeding 10 kg of dry cloth and a 
drum peripheral speed not exceeding 50 m/s, their rated voltages being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances. 
Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as spin extractors intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, and spin extractors for communal use in blocks of flats or in launderettes, 
are within the scope of this standard. 

As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances which 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. 
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 and similar 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). 

[Add the following]

This Standard applies to the safety of such equipment that is intended to be installed or used in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.
