The standards are used widely by industry and commerce and often adopted by municipal, provincial, and feder

The more than 7000 committee volunteers and the 2000 sustaining memberships together form CSAs total membership from which its Directors are chosen. Sustaining memberships represent a major source of income for CSAs standards

24、e some 10,000 national consensus standards currently approved as American National Standards.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

25、 governments in achieving compatibility between government codes and standards and the 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 Int

26、ernational Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The Institute maintains close ties with 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 gro

27、ups.ANSI approval of standards is intended to verify that the principles of openness and 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 s

28、ystem to ensure that national standards needs are identified and met with a set of standards that are without conflict or unnecessary duplication in their requirements.PrefaceThis publication represents a basic standard for safe operation, substantial and durable construction, and acceptable perform

29、ance of a combination gas control for gas appliances. It is the result of years of experience in the manufacture, testing, installation, maintenance, inspection and research on combination gas controls for gas appliances designed for utilization of gas. There are risks of injury to persons inherent

30、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 indicating a measure of qua

31、lity beyond compliance with the provisions it contains. It is designed to allow compliance of combination gas controls, the safety construction and performance of which may exceed the various provisions specified herein. In its preparation, full recognition has been given to possibilities of improve

32、ment 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 CSA America, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44131, or the Canadian Standards Association, 5060 Spect

33、rum Way, Suite 100; Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L4W 5N6.Safe and satisfactory operation of a combination gas control for gas appliances depends to a great extent upon its proper installation, use and maintenance. It should be installed, as applicable, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code,

34、ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54; the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.Users of this American National Standard/CSA Standard are advised that the devices, products and activities within its scope may be subject to regulation at the Federal, Territorial, Provincial, state or local levels. Use

35、rs are strongly urged to investigate this possibility through appropriate channels. In the event of a conflict with this standard, the Federal, Territorial, Provincial, state or local regulation should be followed.THIS STANDARD IS INTENDED TO BE USED BY THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR AND BY THOSE APPLYING

36、 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 APPLICABLE TO THE SPECIFIC USE THEY INTEND.CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any

37、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 from the date of approval. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by ca

38、lling 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 this standard for product evaluation as a part of its certification program will normally establish the date by which all pr

39、oducts certified by that organization should comply with this standard.iiHistory Of The Development Of Standard For Combination Gas Controls For Gas Appliances(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

40、 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 would rem

41、ove 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.At its December 11-12, 1990 meeting th

42、e Z21 Automatic Valves, Pressure Regulators and Combination Controls for Gas Appliances Subcommittee agreed with the CGA Standards Committee on Accessories for Gas-Fired Equipment to the development of a harmonized standard for combination gas controls, using the second draft of the proposed America

43、n National Standard for Combination Gas Controls for Gas Appliances. Subsequently, a proposed harmonized standard was distributed for industry review in Canada in April 1992.With the formation of joint subcommittees, a Canadian Gas Association Standards Steering Committee on Gas Burning Appliances a

44、nd Related Accessories was established to parallel Accredited Standards Committees Z21 and Z83, and to support the formation of joint subcommittees. Operating procedures, in accordance with American National Standards Institute procedures, for joint subcommittees were developed and subsequently appr

45、oved by ANSI on April 1, 1993.Following reconsideration of the proposed harmonized draft standard for combination gas controls, in light of comments received, the joint automatic gas controls subcommittee, by letter ballot dated October 24, 1994, adopted the proposed harmonized standard for combinat

46、ions gas controls and recommended the proposed harmonized standard to the Z21 Committee and the CGA Standards Steering Committee for approval.Following procedures, the Z21 Committee, at its April 6, 1995 meeting, adopted the proposed harmonized standard for combination gas controls for gas appliance

47、s. The CGA Standards Steering Committee adopted the proposed harmonized standard for combination gas controls for gas appliances by a letter ballot dated May 19, 1995.The first edition of the harmonized Z21/CGA Standard for Combination Controls for Gas Appliances was approved as American National St

48、andard by the American National Standards Institute, Inc. (ANSI), on July 15, 1996. The Interprovincial Gas Advisory Council (IGAC) approved the proposed harmonized standard by a letter ballot dated January 17, 1997.The second edition of the Z21/CSA Standard for Combination Controls for Gas Applianc

49、es was approved by the IGAC on August 22, 2000 and by ANSI, on September 27, 2000.The third edition of Z21/CSA Standard for Combination Controls for Gas Appliances was approved by the IGAC on April 1, 2005 and by ANSI on March 9, 2005.This the fourth edition of the Standard was approved by the IGAC on September 27, 2010, and by ANSI on August 30, 2010.The previous edition of the combination controls for gas appliances standard, and addenda thereto, approved by ANSI and the IGAC
