6、Standard has been produced, was chartered in1919 and accredited by the Standards Council of Canada tothe National Standards system in 1973. It is a not-for-profit,nonstatutory, voluntary membership association engaged instandards development and certification activities.CSA standards reflect a natio

7、nal consensus of producers andusers including manufacturers, consumers, retailers,unions and professional organizations, and governmentalagencies. The standards are used widely by industry andcommerce and often adopted by municipal, provincial, andfederal governments in their regulations, particular

8、ly in thefields of health, safety, building and construction, and theenvironment.Individuals, companies, and associations across Canadaindicate their support for CSAs standards development byvolunteering their time and skills to CSA Committee workand supporting the Associations objectives through su

9、stainingmemberships. The more than 7000 committee volunteers andthe 2000 sustaining memberships together form CSAs totalmembership from which its Directors are chosen. Sustainingmemberships represent a major source of income for CSAsstandards development activities.The Association offers certificati

10、on and testing services insupport of and as an extension to its standards developmentactivities. To ensure the integrity of its certification process,the Association regularly and continually audits and inspectsproducts that bear the CSA Mark.In addition to its head office and laboratory complex inT

11、oronto, CSA has regional branch offices in major centresacross Canada and inspection and testing agencies in eightcountries. Since 1919, the Association has developed thenecessary expertise to meet its corporate mission: CSA is anindependent service organization whose mission is to providean open an

23、ards.ANSI provides that the interests of the public mayhave appropriate participation and representation instandardization activity, and cooperates withdepartments and agencies of U.S. Federal, state andlocal governments in achieving compatibility betweengovernment codes and standards and the volunt

24、arystandards of industry and commerce.ANSI represents the interests of the United Statesin international nontreaty organizations such as theInternational Organization for Standardization (ISO) andthe International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).The Institute maintains close ties with regionalorga

25、nizations such as the Pacific Area StandardsCongress (PASC) and the Pan American StandardsCommission (COPANT). As such, ANSI coordinates theactivities involved in the U.S. participation in thesegroups.ANSI approval of standards is intended to verifythat the principles of openness and due process hav

In Canada, effective dates are established by the Interprovincial GasAdvisory Council.HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT OF ANSI/IAS NGV 4.4iiCSA 12.54(This history is informative and is not part of the standard)During 1984, there was growing need in the U.S. natural gas

38、vehicle industry for guidelines pertaining tothe assembly of aftermarket equipment installed on motor vehicles in order to operate alternatively oneither gasoline or natural gas. The American Gas Association Laboratories (AGAL), in response to thisneed developed an A.G.A. Requirement for Natural Gas

39、 Vehicle (CNG) Conversion Kits, No. 1-85. Thisrequirement was intended to help promote the safe development and installation of NGV conversionsystems by manufacturers and installers. The first draft of A.G.A. Requirement No. 1-85 was developedduring 1984 and 1985, with the final version dated August

40、 20, 1985.At the time of its issuance, the A.G.A. No. 1-85 was in compliance with NGV equipment and fuelingstations specifications published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) under its Standard forCompressed Natural Gas (CNG) Vehicular Fuel Systems, NFPA 52. The first edition of NFP

41、A 52 wasissued in 1984. A second edition was issued in 1988.In 1988 a group of U.S. gas utilities formed the Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Coalition (the Coalition) topromote widespread use of compressed natural gas as a transport fuel. The Coalition organized committeesto address technical, marketing a

42、nd legislative issues which would affect the future expansion of a U.S.transportation industry fueled by natural gas.The Coalition recognized that an important consideration in the successful commercialization of natural gasas a vehicle fuel was the issue of codes and standards (or the lack of codes

43、 and standards, or harmonizedcodes and standards) pertaining to both fuel stations and vehicle fuel systems. The Coalitions TechnologyCommittee was established to achieve the goal of an organized family of coordinated codes, standards andregulations addressing natural gas vehicles and fueling statio

44、ns. To help achieve this goal, the TechnologyCommittee established the Standards and Standardization Subcommittee.Subsequently, the third edition of NFPA 52 was published in 1992. This current edition incorporates manychanges developed and recommended by the NGV Coalitions task groups.During August

45、1992, an NGV Conversion Equipment Task Group was established to coordinate with theAGAL for requirements for compressed NGV conversion kits. The task group agreed the phrase “NGVfuel system” should replace “NGV conversion kits.” (An NGV fuel system is comprised of all majorcomponents required to sup

46、ply, manage, and/or control fuel flow, enabling a vehicle to operate on naturalgas.) The task group continued to meet during August, October and December 1992 to promulgate thedevelopment of a standard to cover both dedicated and bi-fuel natural gas systems for light and mediumduty vehicles.A standa

47、rd for NGV fuel system components already existed in Canada namely the National Standard ofCanada CAN/CGA 12.3, Fuel System Components for Natural Gas Powered Vehicles. The genesis for thisCanadian document was the Amendment to the 1982 CGA B149.1, Natural Gas Installation Code whichadded to the Cod

48、e provisions for Natural Gas for Vehicles (NGV) fuel system components on highwayvehicles, as well as coverage of NGV refuelling stations, Subsequently these NGV aspects evolved intostand-alone Canadian documents, one being the CAN/CGA-12.3 which was first published in February1991.In order to furth

49、er common goals for North American harmonization, the task group and the CanadianGas Association (CGA) NGV Steering Committee on Natural Gas Powered Vehicles, initiated formationof a joint activity involving the CGA Steering Committees Subcommittee on Fuel System Componentsfor Natural Gas Powered Vehicles and the Coalitions NGV Conversion Equipment Task Group.On February 17, 1993, the first joint meeting of the NGV Conversion Equipment Task Group and theCGA 12.3 Standards Subcommit
