Scope:

1.1
This standard applies to pin and sleeve type plugs, receptacles, power inlets, and connectors, rated up to 800 amperes and up to 600 volts ac or dc, and which may include up to eight pilot contacts. These devices are intended to provide power from branch circuits, or are for direct connection to the branch circuit in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code Part I, the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70, and the Mexican Electrical Code, NOM 001 SEDE, using copper conductors, for use in either indoor or outdoor nonhazardous locations. In Canada, the terminals of a device intended to accommodate aluminum conductors also comply with CSA C22.2 No. 65.

1.2
This standard does not apply to single conductor pin and sleeve devices. Single pole locking-type separable connectors are covered by CSA C22.2 No. 1691/UL 1691.

1.3
This standard does not apply to:

a) Devices molded integrally with flexible cord or cable that are covered by UL 817, CSA C22.2 No. 21, and NMX-J-195-ANCE;

Project need:

This is the second amendment of CSA C22.2 No 182.1 ED 5, of the trinational harmonized standard CSA This will be first edition for ANCE, to change the standard from binational to trinational harmonized standard. This proposed amendment is being developed at the request of Industry and Certification Bodies. It will provide the industry with aligned Canadian requirements with those of other countries in the region and expands requirements for Weather-Resistant Receptacles .
