Scope:

1.1
This Standard applies to extra-low-voltage landscape lighting systems and associated components that are intended for cord-connected, direct plug-in, or permanent connection to a branch circuit of not more than 150 volts-to-ground in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I. 

1.2
This Standard only covers extra-low-voltage landscape lighting systems where the maximum output circuit is 300 VA or 25 A, whichever is less, from each of the secondary circuits operating at not more than 30 V rms or 42.4 V peak. 

1.3
Extra-low-voltage landscape lighting systems covered by this Standard are intended for gardens, walkways, patio areas, or similar outdoor locations, and for specific indoor locations such as atriums and shopping malls in accordance with the marking on the product. 

1.4
This Standard applies to the following associated components:
(a) the isolating-type power supply
(b) one or more luminaire assemblies of the incandescent, fluorescent, LED, or HID type
(c) flexible cable and associated connectors intended for use in the secondary circuit

Project need:

To update the standard taking into account newer technology in the lighting field
