23、2.1 and the fth edition of UL 1660. The requirements of CSA Standard C22.2 No.227.2, published in 1993, are superseded by this standard, for products covered in this standard, as indicated in the Scope of this standard. This edition of UL 1660 supersedes the previous edition(s) published on February

24、 4, 2000. This common standard has been jointly revised on April 18, 2008. This harmonized standard was prepared by the CSA Group and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). The efforts and support of the Technical Harmonization Committee 23A LFNC Working Group, of the Council on the Harmonization of E

25、lectrotechnical Standards of the Nations of the Americas (CANENA), are gratefully acknowledged. 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 ICCM01-Nonmetallic Conduit, Tubing and

26、 Fittings under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Wiring Products and the CSA Strategic Steering 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 (

27、ANSI) as an American National Standard. Application of Standard Where reference is made to a specic number of samples to be tested, the specied 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 n

28、ote 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 the IEC format but is not based on, nor is it considered equivalent to, an IEC standard. This standard is published as an equivalent st

29、andard for CSA Group and UL. An equivalent standard is a standard that is substantially the same in technical content, except as follows: Technical national differences are allowed for codes and governmental regulations as well as those recognized as being in accordance with NAFTA Article 905, for e

30、xample, because of fundamental climatic, geographical, technological, or infrastructural factors, scientic justication, or the level of protection that the country considers appropriate. Presentation is word for word except for editorial changes. Reasons for differences from IEC The THSC determined

31、the safe use of electrical liquid-tight exible conduit and ttings is dependent on the design and performance of the conduit and cable systems with which they are intended to be installed. Signicant investigation is required to assess safety and system compatibility issues that may lead to harmonizat

The THSC agreed s

33、uch future investigation might be facilitated by completion of harmonization of the North American standards for electrical liquid-tight exible conduit and ttings. Interpretations The interpretation by the standards development organization of an identical or equivalent standard is based on the lite

34、ral text to determine compliance with the standard 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 organizat

35、ions to more accurately reect the intent. CSA Group effective date The effective date for CSA Group will be announced through a CSA Informs or CSA Group Certication Notice. UL effective date As of July 2, 2014, all products Listed or Recognized by UL must comply with the requirements in this standar

37、onmetallic Conduit 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover liquid-tight exible nonmetallic conduit in the 3/8 4 (12 103) trade sizes of Type LFNC-A (Layered), Type LFNC-B (Integral), and Type LFNC-C (Corrugated) constructions. The conduit is intended for installation in accordance with the National Ele

38、ctrical Code (NEC) and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Part 1. The values in parentheses are metric trade designators of conduit. 1.2 Conduit covered by this Standard is intended for use in wet, dry, or oily locations at a maximum of 60C (140F), unless otherwise marked. (See Clause 6.) 1.3 Fitti

39、ngs for liquid-tight exible nonmetallic conduit are covered in UL 514B or CSA C22.2 No. 18.3. 2 Denitions 2.1 For the purposes of this Standard the following denitions apply. LIQUID-TIGHT FLEXIBLE NONMETALLIC CONDUIT A conduit that is liquid-tight, can be bent by hand without other assistance, and i

40、s intended to ex throughout its life. TYPE LFNC-A (Layered) A conduit with a smooth seamless inner core and cover bonded together with one or more reinforcement layers between the core and cover. TYPE LFNC-B (Integral) A conduit with a smooth inner surface with integral reinforcement within the cond

41、uit wall. TYPE LFNC-C (Corrugated) A conduit with corrugated internal and external surfaces without integral reinforcement within the conduit wall. 3 General 3.1 Components 3.1.1 Except as indicated in Clause 3.1.2, a component of a product covered by this Standard shall comply with the requirements

42、 for that component. A component shall comply with both the Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and Canadian Standards Association standards for the component. 3.1.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the applicati

43、on of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard.
