It is the first edition of CSA C22.2 No. 126.2 and the first edition of UL 568. This common s

27、tandard was prepared by the CANENA Technical Harmonization Committee for Nonmetallic Cable Tray Systems, which comprises members from Underwriters Laboratories, the Canadian Standards Association, and the cable tray manufacturing industry. The efforts of the CANENA Technical Harmonization Committee

28、are gratefully acknowledged. This standard was reviewed by the CSA Subcommittee on C22.2 No. 126, under the jurisdiction of the Technical Committee on Wiring Products and the Strategic Resource Group, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. The requirements of CSA Standard C22.2 N

29、o. 126, published in 1991, are superseded by this standard for products covered in this standard as indicated in the scope of this standard. Where reference is made to a specific number of samples to be tested, the specified number is considered to be a minimum quantity. This standard has been appro

30、ved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an American National Standard. The most recent designation of ANSI/UL 568 as an American National Standard occurred on July 30, 2004. This ANSI/UL Standard for Safety, which consists of the first edition, is under continuous maintenance, whe

31、reby each revision is ANSI approved upon publication. Comments or proposals for revisions on any part of the standard may be submitted to UL at any time. Written comments are to be sent to the UL-SC Standards Department, 1655 Scott Blvd., Santa Clara, CA 95050. Note: Although the intended primary ap

32、plication 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 Harmonization This standard uses an IEC format, but is not based on, nor is it to be considered e

33、quivalent to, an IEC standard. This standard is published as an equivalent standard for CSA and UL. An equivalent standard is a standard that is substantially the same in technical content, except as follows. Technical deviations are allowed for codes and governmental regulations and those recognize

34、d as being in accordance with NAFTA Article 905, for example, because of fundamental, climatic, geographical, technological, or infrastructural factors, scientific justification, or the level of protection that the country considers appropriate. Presentation is to be word for word except for editori

35、al changes. Reasons for Differences to IEC The Technical Harmonization Committee identified one IEC Standard that addresses electrical cable tray systems included in the scope of this standard. The THC determined that the safe use of electrical cable tray is dependent on the design, performance, and

36、 installation of the cable tray system. Significant investigation is required to assess safety and system issues that may lead to harmonization of traditional North American electrical cable tray standards with those presently addressed in the known IEC standard. The THC agreed such future investiga

37、tion might be facilitated by completion of harmonization of the North American standards for electrical cable tray. JANUARY 28.2005 CSA C22.2 NO. 126.2-02 6 UL 568 5 Interpretations The interpretation by the Standards Development Organization (SDO) of an identical or equivalent standard is to be bas

38、ed on the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the procedural rules of the SDO. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been identified, a revision is to be proposed as soon as possible to each of the SDOs to more accurately reflect the intent. UL

39、 Effective Date As of October 15, 2004, all products Listed or Recognized by UL must comply with the requirements in this standard. CSA Effective Date The effective date for CSA will be announced through CSA Informs or a CSA Certification Notice. 6 CSA C22.2 NO. 126.2-02 + UL 568 OCTOBER 15,2002 For

40、eword (CSA) The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) develops standards under the name Canadian Standards Association, and provides certification and testing under the name CSA International. CSA International provides certification services for manufacturers who, under license from CSA, wish to use

41、 the appropriate registered CSA Marks on certain products of their manufacture to indicate conformity with CSA Standards. CSA Certification for a number of products is provided in the interest of maintaining agreed-upon standards of quality, performance, interchangeability and/or safety, as appropri

42、ate. Where applicable, certification may form the basis for acceptance by inspection authorities responsible for enforcement of regulations. Where feasible, programs will be developed for additional products for which certification is desired by producers, consumers, or other interests. In performin

43、g its functions in accordance with its objectives, CSA does not assume or undertake to discharge any responsibility of the manufacturer or any other party. The opinions and findings of the Association represent its professional judgement given with due consideration to the necessary limitations of p

44、ractical operation and state of the art at the time the Standard is processed. Products in substantial accord with this Standard but which exhibit a minor difference or a new feature may be deemed to meet the Standard providing the feature or difference is found acceptable utilizing appropriate CSA

45、International Operating Procedures. Products that comply with this Standard shall not be certified if they are found to have additional features which are inconsistent with the intent of this Standard. Products shall not be certifiable if they are discovered to contravene applicable laws or regulati

46、ons. Testing techniques, test procedures, and instrumentation frequently must be prescribed by CSA International in addition to the technical requirements contained in Standards of CSA. In addition to markings specified in the Standard, CSA International may require special cautions, markings, and i

47、nstructions that are not specified by the Standard. Some tests required by CSA Standards may be inherently hazardous. The Association neither assumes nor accepts any responsibility for any injury or damage that may occur during or as the result of tests, wherever performed, whether performed in whol

48、e or in part by the manufacturer or the Association, and whether or not any equipment, facility, or personnel for or in connection with the test is furnished by the manufacturer or the Association. Manufacturers should note that, in the event of the failure of CSA International to resolve an issue a

49、rising from the interpretation of requirements, there is an appeal procedure: the complainant should submit the matter, in writing, to the Secretary of the Canadian Standards Association. If this Standard is to be used in obtaining CSA Certification please remember, when making application for certification, to request all current Amendments, Bulletins, Notices, and Technical Information Letters that may be applicable and for which there may be a nominal charge. For such information or for further information concerning CSA Certification, please address your inquiry to Applications and C
