21、d by the Standards Council of Canada to the National Standards system in 1973. It is a not-for- profit, nonstatutory, voluntary membership association engaged in standards development and certification activities. CSA Group standards reflect a national consensus of producers and users including manu

22、facturers, consumers, retailers, unions and professional organizations, and governmental agencies. The standards are used widely by industry and commerce and often adopted by municipal, provincial, and federal governments in their regulations, particularly in the fields of health, safety, building a

23、nd construction, and the environment.Individuals, companies, and associations across Canada indicate their support for CSA Groups standards development by volunteering their time and skills to Committee work and supporting CSA Groups objectives through sustaining memberships. The more than 7000 comm

24、ittee volunteers and the 2000 sustaining memberships together form CSA Groups total membership from which its Directors are chosen. Sustaining memberships represent a major source of income for CSA Groups standards development activities.CSA Group offers certification and testing services in support

25、 of and as an extension to its standards development activities. To ensure the integrity of its certification process, CSA Group regularly and continually audits and inspects products that bear the CSA Group Mark.In addition to its head office and laboratory complex in Toronto, CSA Group has regiona

26、l branch offices in major centres across Canada and inspection and testing agencies in eight countries. Since 1919, CSA Group has developed the necessary expertise to meet its corporate mission: CSA Group is an independent service organization whose mission is to provide an open and effective forum

27、for activities facilitating the exchange of goods and services through the use of standards, certification and related services to meet national and international needs.The American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Inc. is the nationally recognized coordinator of voluntary standards development

28、in the United States through which voluntary organizations, representing virtually every technical discipline and every facet of trade and commerce, organized labor and consumer interests, establish and improve the some 10,000 national consensus standards currently approved as American National Stan

29、dards. ANSI provides that the interests of the public may have appropriate participation and representation in standardization activity, and cooperates with departments and agencies of U.S. Federal, state and local governments in achieving compatibility between government codes and standards and the

30、 voluntary standards of industry and commerce.ANSI represents the interests of the United States in international nontreaty organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The Institute maintains close ties with

31、regional organizations such as the Pacific Area Standards Congress (PASC) and the Pan American Standards Commission (COPANT). As such, ANSI coordinates the activities involved in the U.S. participation in these groups.ANSI approval of standards is intended to verify that the principles of openness a

32、nd due process have been followed in the approval procedure and that a consensus of those directly and materially affected by the standards has been achieved. ANSI coordination is intended to assist the voluntary system to ensure that national standards needs are identified and met with a set of sta

33、ndards that are without conflict or unnecessary duplication in their requirements.For further information on CSA Group services, write to CSA Group 5060 Spectrum Way, Suite 100, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L4W 5N6Responsibility of approving American standards rests with the American National Standa

46、Canada on January 2, 1988, significant attention was given to the harmonization of the United States and Canadian safety standards addressing gas-fired equipment for residential, commercial and industrial applications. It was believed that the elimination of the differences between the standards wou

47、ld remove potential trade barriers and provide an atmosphere in which North American manufacturers could market more freely in the United States and Canada. The harmonization of these standards was also seen as a step toward harmonization with international standards. Joint subcommittees were establ

48、ished to facilitate the standards harmonization process between the United States and Canada.At its October 24, 1995 meeting, the Z21/CGA Joint Subcommittee on Standards for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems appointed an ad hoc working group to prepare a dr

49、aft bi-national standard for Relief Valves. By letter ballot dated May 16, 1997, the joint subcommittee approved sending the draft standard for public 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 Temperature, Pressure, Temperature and Pressure Relief Valves and Vacuum Relief Valves, CAN1-4.4-M80 (R1996).Following reconsideratio
