28、 of heat-cold-humidity requirements.This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard.This Standard was prepared by the Subcommittee on Adhesive Labels, under the jurisdiction of the Technical Committee on General Requirements, CE Code, Pa

29、rt II and the Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee.Interpretations: The Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety has provided the following direction for the interpretation of standards

30、 under its jurisdiction: “The literal text shall be used in judging compliance of products with the safety requirements of this Standard. When the literal text cannot be applied to the product, such as for new materials or construction, and when a relevant CSA committee interpretation has not alread

31、y been published, CSA Groups procedures for interpretation shall be followed to determine the intended safety principle.”Notes: 1) Use of the singular does not exclude the plural (and vice versa) when the sense allows.2) Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its Sco

32、pe, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the Standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.3) This Standard was developed by consensus, which is defined by CSA Policy governing standardization Code of good practice for standardization as “substa

33、ntial agreement. Consensus implies much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity”. It is consistent with this definition that a member may be included in the Technical Committee list and yet not be in full agreement with all clauses of this Standard.4) To submit a request for inter

34、pretation of this Standard, please send the following information to inquiriescsagroup.org and include “Request for interpretation” in the subject line: a) define the problem, making reference to the specific clause, and, where appropriate, include an illustrative sketch;b) provide an explanation of

35、 circumstances surrounding the actual field condition; andc) where possible, phrase the request in such a way that a specific “yes” or “no” answer will address the issue.Committee interpretations are processed in accordance with the CSA Directives and guidelines governing standardization and are ava
