36、RIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL Preface This is the harmonized ANCE, CSA Group, and UL standard for Metallic Outlet Boxes. It is the third edition of NMX-J-023/1-ANCE, the second edition of CSA C22.2 No. 18.1, and the eleventh editi

37、on of UL 514A. This edition of CSA C22.2 No. 18.1 supersedes the previous edition(s) published in 2004. This harmonized standard has been jointly revised on August 11, 2017. For this purpose, ANCE, CSA Group and UL are issuing revision pages dated August 11, 2017. This harmonized standard was prepar

38、ed by the Association of Standardization and Certication (ANCE), CSA Group, and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). The efforts and support of the Technical Harmonization Committee for Switch and Outlet Boxes, of the Council on the Harmonization of Electrotechnical Standards of the Nations of the A

39、mericas (CANENA), are gratefully acknowledged. This standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. The present Mexican standard was developed by the CT committee named from the Comite de Normalizacion de la Asociacion de Normalizacion y Cer

40、ticacion, A.C., CONANCE, with the collaboration of the type of manufacture manufacturers and users. This standard was reviewed by the CSA Integrated Committee on Wiring Devices, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Wiring Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requi

41、rements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the CSA Technical Committee. This standard has been approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an American National Standard. Application of Standard Where reference is made to a specic number of samples to be test

42、ed, 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 note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose. Level

43、 of Harmonization This standard uses the 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 conte

44、nt, 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 example, because of fundamental climatic, geographical, technological, or infrastructural factors, scientic justicat

45、ion, or the level of protection that the country considers appropriate. Presentation is word for word except for editorial changes.

46、UL Reasons for differences from IEC The Technical Harmonization Committee identied the following IEC standard within the scope of this standard: IEC 60670 (1989-11), General requirements for enclosures for accessories for household and similar xed electrical installations and Amendment No. 1 (1994-0

47、1). It was further recognized that signicant revision of this IEC standard is in process, with participation by the IEC National Committees in each of the three countries that are party to this standard. The THC determined that the safe use of electrical boxes is critically dependent on the design a

48、nd performance of the system 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 boxes with those presently addressed in the known IEC standards. The

49、 THC agreed such future investigation might be facilitated by completion of harmonization of the North American standards for electrical boxes. Interpretations The interpretation by the standards development organization of an identical or equivalent standard is based on the literal 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 litera
