Scope:

1.1
This Standard covers construction, general requirements, test methods, marking, and instructions that are common to some or all of the CSA B140 series of Standards.

1.2
This is not a complete Standard in itself and must be used in conjunction with one of the other Standards in the CSA B140 series to form a complete Standard for a particular type of oil-burning appliance or equipment.

1.3
Each of the other Standards in the B140 series covers construction requirements, marking, instructions, and the detailed testing procedures for a single classification or a closely related group of oil-burning equipment.

1.4
Devices or products that comply with the CSA B140 series of Standards may not be acceptable if they have additional features which, when examined and tested, are found to reduce the degree of protection provided by the Standards.

1.5
The values given in SI (metric) units are the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only

Project need:
