General requirements and methods of testing for nonmetallic conduit
Scope:
1.1
This Standard describes general requirements, apparatus, and test methods to be used in carrying out applicable tests and calculations for rigid nonmetallic conduits, elbows, bends, and associated fittings required by the rigid nonmetallic conduit Standards of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part II.
1.2
The various types of rigid nonmetallic conduits are as follows:
a) rigid PVC conduit for direct burial and for masonry and concrete encasement, as specified in CSA C22.2 No. 211.1;
b) rigid PVC (unplasticized) conduit, as specified in CSA C22.2 No. 211.2; and
c) rigid fibreglass reinforced epoxy conduit and associated fittings, as specified in CSA C22.2 No. 211.3.
Project need:
To update the standard due to technical updates and to support innovation in the general requirements and methods of testing for nonmetallic conduit in the Canadian context. This proposed New Edition is being developed at the request of the manufacturers and the technical subcommittee. It will provide the industry with the latest requirements for nonmetallic conduits.
