Scope:

These requirements cover crimp tools that have been evaluated for use with the following types of 
specified connecting devices: 
a) Grounding and bonding equipment; 
b) Electrical quick-connect terminals; 
c) Wire connectors; 
d) Wire-connector adapters; and 
e) Ferrules. 

These specified connecting devices comply with the requirements in the Standard for Grounding and 
Bonding Equipment, UL 467; the Standard for Electrical Quick-Connect Terminals, UL 310; the Standard 
for Wire Connectors, UL 486A-486B; the Standard for Splicing Wire Connectors, UL 486C; or the 
Standard for Bare and Covered Ferrules, UL 486F. 

Project need:

This is a first edition of tri-national standard C22.2 No. 352 that CSA, UL and ANCE have agreed on. The intent of the project is to create new harmonized requirements for NA industry. This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of Technical Harmonization Committee on Electrical Connectors to address proper crimps and termination pressure used for the various conductors approved for the termination devices in North America.
