Scope:

This standard applies to self-propelled, electrically-driven, non-rail-bound, mobile machines for use underground in gassy or non-gassy mines.  This standard provides requirements for such machines and is intended to be used in conjunction with CSA Standards M424.0, M424.1, M424.2, and M424.3, each as applicable.

This standard considers battery electric as the base system configuration.  Hydrogen fuel-cell-electric and diesel-electric systems are also considered as on-board sources of electrical energy supply and are addressed by this standard with additional specific requirements.  Additionally, other energy storage technologies are considered by this standard for application as possible sources for electric propulsion. 

This standard applies to those self-propelled machines using on-board voltages in the ranges of 50 V-1.5 kV AC at any frequency and 75 V-2.1 kV DC – including any repetition rate of pulsating DC.  Voltages contained within on-board devices are not considered in this standard.

Project need:

To define requirements and incorporate new technologies – Battery Electric Vehicles, Hydrogen and Hybrid with key performance and safety requirements being identified. All components should be described together with performance and testing requirements.

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.
