Scope:

This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.

 

This standard deals with the safety of electric fishing machines by means of which water may be electrified for the purpose of catching fish or for providing barriers to all animals living in water.

 

The rated voltage of electric fishing machines is not more than 250 V for single phase machines and 480 V for other machines, except that the rated voltage of electric fishing machines for permanent connection to fixed wiring is not more than 1000 V.

 

Additional requirements for boat mounted electric fishing machines are given in Annex AA.

 

NOTE 101

Examples of electric fishing machines coming within the scope of this standard are:

– mains-operated electric fishing machines which include those supplied from portable or stationary generator sets; – battery-operated electric fishing machines .

NOTE 102

Attention is drawn to the fact that

– for appliances intended to be used on board ships or boats, additional requirements may be necessary; – in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.

 

NOTE 103

This standard does not apply to

– electric fence energizers (IEC 60335-2-76); – electric animal stunning equipment (IEC 60335-2-87); – shark deterrent devices that are carried by the user

Project need:

The market of such machines in Canada is very limited, specific and hence is very competitive. Clients usually are Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry of Ontario and similar administrations in other provinces, as well as universities and scientific research organizations who conduct studies on fish growth, population, reproduction and species distribution. One Canadian manufacturer, who approached ESA, specifically complained that the machines they make are not certified in Canada because there is no Canadian standard to test and certify the machines.

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.

Individual SDOs are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information presented here. The text is presented in the language in which it was provided to SCC.
