24、797 3UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL Preface This is the common ANCE, CSA Group, and UL standard for electrical metallic tubing steel. It is the third edition of NMX-J-536-ANCE, the second edition of CSA C22.2 No. 83.1, and t

25、he ninth edition of UL 797. This edition of CSA C22.2 No. 83.1 supersedes the previous edition published in 2004. This edition of UL 797 supersedes the previous edition published June 30, 2004. This common standard was prepared by the Association of Standardization and Certication (ANCE), CSA Group,

26、 and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), and the conduit manufacturing industry. The efforts and support of the Technical Harmonization Subcommittee for Conduit and Tubing, of the Council of the Harmonization of Electrotechnical Standards for the Nations of the Americas (CANENA) are gratefully ackn

27、owledged. This standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the standard. This standard was reviewed by the CSA Subcommittee on Metal Conduit and Tubing, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Wiring Products and the CSA Strategic Ste

28、ering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. This standard has been approved by the American National Standards Institute as an American National Standard. Where reference is made to a specic number of samples to be tested, the spe

29、cied number is to be considered a minimum quantity. Note: Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose. Level of harmoni

30、zation This standard uses an IEC format, but is not based on, nor is it to be considered equivalent to an IEC standard. This standard is published as an equivalent standard for ANCE, CSA Group, and UL. An equivalent standard is a standard that is substantially the same in technical content, except a

31、s follows: Technical deviations are allowed for codes and governmental regulations and those recognized as being in accordance with NAFTA Article 905, for example, because of fundamental, climatic, geographical, technological or infrastructural factors, scientic justication, or the level of protecti

32、on that the country considers appropriate. Presentation is to be word for word except for editorial changes. Reasons for differences from IEC The Technical Harmonization Subcommittee identied several IEC standards that address electrical conduit and tubing included in the scope of this standard. The

33、 IEC standards for electrical conduit and tubing are recognized as being generally system-specic, containing the requirements for the relevant conduits, tubing, and associated ttings in several discrete IEC standards. The THSC determined the safe use of electrical conduit and tubing is dependent on

34、the design and performance of the conduit and tubing systems with which they are intended to be installed. Signicant investigation is required to assess safety and system compatibility issues that may lead to harmonization of traditional North American electrical conduit and tubing and associated tt

The THSC agreed such future investigation might be facilitated by

36、completion of harmonization of the North American standards for electrical conduit and tubing and their ttings. Interpretations The interpretation by the standards development organization of an identical or equivalent standard is to be based on the literal text to determine compliance with the stan

37、dard in accordance with the procedural rules of the standards development organization. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been identied, a revision is to be proposed as soon as possible to each of the standards development organizations to more accurately reect the intent.

38、 effective date The effective date for ANCE will be announced through the Diario Ocial de la Federacin (Official Gazette) and is indicated on the cover page. CSA Group effective date The effective date for CSA Group will be announced through CSA Informs or a CSA Group Certication Notice. UL effectiv

39、e date As of December 21, 2012, all products Listed or Recognized by UL must comply with the requirements in this standard except for Clauses 7.8, 7.9, and Annex F (Clause F.1 and Table F1) which are effective June 21, 2014. A UL effective date is established by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and is

EMT is provid

42、ed with a zinc, zinc-based, nonmetallic, or other alternate corrosion-resistant exterior coating and an organic or zinc interior coating. It is the users responsibility to determine the appropriate product for their application. 1.2 Aluminum electrical metallic tubing is covered by the standards lis

43、ted in Reference Item No. 2, Annex A. 2 Normative references 2.1 Products covered by this standard shall comply with the reference installation codes and standards as appropriate for the country where the product is to be used. When the product is intended for use in more than one country, the produ

44、ct shall comply with the installation codes and standards for all countries where it is intended to be used. A Reference Item No. is provided at the point of use for each reference in this standard. See Annex A for a list of reference publications and the correlating list of reference item numbers t

45、o applicable country publications. 2.2 For undated references to standards, such reference shall be considered to refer to the latest edition and all revisions to that edition up to the time when this standard was approved. For dated references to standards, such reference shall be considered to ref

46、er to the dated edition and all revisions published to that edition up to the time the standard was approved. 3 Denitions 3.1 The following denitions apply in this standard. 3.2 Coating(s), alternate corrosion-resistant. A primary coating(s) other than one consisting solely of zinc, which upon evalu

47、ation has demonstrated the ability to provide the level of corrosion resistance required on the exterior of tubing. See Clause 6.2.4. Note: Coating(s) may include zinc. 3.3 Coating(s), organic. An interior coating(s), other than one consisting solely of zinc, which, upon evaluation, has demonstrated
