29、nd acceptable performance of automatic gas shutoff devices for hot water supply systems. It is the result of years of experience in the manufacture, testing, installation, maintenance, inspection and research on automatic gas shutoff devices for hot water supply systems. There are risks of injury to
30、 persons inherent in appliances that, if completely eliminated, would defeat the utility of the appliance. The provisions in this standard are intended to help reduce such risks while retaining the normal operation of the appliance.Nothing in this standard is to be considered in any way as indicatin
31、g a measure of quality beyond compliance with the provisions it contains. It is designed to allow compliance of automatic gas shutoff devices for hot water supply systems, the safety construction and performance of which may exceed the various provisions specified herein. In its preparation, recogni
32、tion has been given to possibilities of improvement through ingenuity of design. As progress takes place, revisions may become necessary. When they are believed desirable, recommendations or suggestions should be forwarded to the Chairman of the Z21/83 Committee, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Clev
33、eland, Ohio 44131, or the Chairman of CSA Technical Committee on Gas Appliances and Related Accessories, 5060 Spectrum Way, Suite 100, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L4W 5N6.Safe and satisfactory operation of automatic gas shutoff devices for hot water supply systems depends to a great extent upon its
34、 proper installation, use and maintenance. It should be installed, as applicable, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1; the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CAN/CSA-B149.1.Users of this American National Standard/CSA Standard are advised that the devices, products and
35、 activities within its scope may be subject to regulation at the Federal, Territorial, Provincial, state or local level. Users are strongly urged to investigate this possibility through appropriate channels. In the event of a conflict with this standard, the Federal, Territorial, Provincial, state o
36、r local regulation should be followed.THIS STANDARD IS INTENDED TO BE USED BY THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR AND BY THOSE APPLYING THE EQUIPMENT AND BY THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS PROPER INSTALLATION. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THESE USERS TO DETERMINE THAT IN EACH CASE THIS STANDARD IS SUITABLE FOR AND AP
37、PLICABLE TO THE SPECIFIC USE THEY INTEND.CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute, Inc., require that action be taken to reaffirm, revise or withdraw this standard no later than five (5) years
38、 from the date of approval. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute, Inc., 25 West 43rd Street, Fourth Floor, New York, N.Y. 10036, (212) 642-4900.EFFECTIVE DATE: An organization using
39、this standard for product evaluation as a part of its certification program will normally establish the date by which all products certified by that organization should comply with this standard.iiHistory Of The Development Of The Standard For Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices For Hot Water Supply Syste
40、ms(This History is informative and is not part of the standard.)With the onset of the Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Canada on January 2, 1988, significant attention was given to the harmonization of the United States and Canadian safety standards addressing gas-fired equipment f
41、or residential, commercial and industrial applications. It was believed that the elimination of the differences between the standards would remove potential trade barriers and provide an atmosphere in which North American manufacturers could market more freely in the United States and Canada. The ha
42、rmonization of these standards was also seen as a step toward harmonization with international standards. Joint subcommittees were established to facilitate the standards harmonization process between the United States and Canada.At its October 24, 1995 meeting, the Z21/CGA Joint Subcommittee on Sta
43、ndards for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems appointed an ad hoc working group to prepare a draft bi-national standard for Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices. By letter ballot dated May 16, 1997, the joint subcommittee approved sending the draft standard for pub
44、lic review and comment.The first draft harmonized standard was based on current coverage from the American National Standard for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, Z21.22-1986, and the Canadian Gas Association Standard for Automatic Gas Shutoff Valves and D
45、evices for Hot Water Supply Systems, CAN1-4.6-78.Following reconsideration and modification of the proposed draft standard, in light of comments received, the joint relief valve subcommittee at its September 30, 1997 meeting, recommended the proposed draft standard to Accredited Standards Committee
46、Z21/83 and the (Interim CSA) Standards Steering Committee for approval.The proposed draft of the harmonized standard for automatic gas shutoff devices, as modified by the joint subcommittee, was approved by the Z21/83 Committee at its April 30, 1998 meeting, and by the CGA Standards Steering Committ
