23、ance and Flatiron Plugs. It is the First edition of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 57, and the First edition of UL 498C. This harmonized standard was prepared by the CSA Group and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). The efforts and support of the Technical Harmonization Subcommittee for Switch and Outlet Boxes,

24、 THSC 23B-1, on the Harmonization of Electrotechnical Standards of the Nations of the Americas (CANENA), are gratefully acknowledged. This standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the standard. This standard was reviewed by the CSA Integrated Commi

25、ttee on Wiring Devices, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Wiring Devices and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the CSA Technical Committee. This standard has been approved by the American National Stan

26、dards Institute (ANSI) as an American National Standard. Application of Standard Where reference is made to a specic number of samples to be tested, the specied number is to be considered a minimum quantity. Note: Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its scope, it

27、is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose. Level of Harmonization This standard uses the IEC format but is not based on, nor is it considered equivalent to, an IEC standard. This standard is published as

28、 an equivalent standard for CSA Group and UL. An equivalent standard is a standard that is substantially the same in technical content, except as follows: Technical national differences are allowed for codes and governmental regulations as well as those recognized as being in accordance with NAFTA A

29、rticle 905, for example, because of fundamental climatic, geographical, technological, or infrastructural factors, scientic justication, or the level of protection that the country considers appropriate. Presentation is word for word except for editorial changes. Interpretations The interpretation b

30、y the standards development organization of an identical or equivalent standard is based on the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the procedural rules of the standards development organization. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been ident

31、ied, a revision is to be proposed as soon as possible to each of the standards development organizations to more accurately reect the intent.
