38、ctric Vehicle Supply Equipment. It is the First edition of NMX-J-677-ANCE, the First edition of CSA C22.2 No. 280, and the First edition of UL 2594. This harmonized standard was prepared by the Association of Standardization and Certication (ANCE), CSA Group, and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL).
39、 The efforts and support of the Technical Harmonization Working Group for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment 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 reviewed and appro
40、ved by the Comit de Normalizacin de la Asociacin de Normalizacin y Certicacin, A.C., CONANCE. This standard was reviewed by the CSA Subcommittee on Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Industrial Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee
41、 on Requirements 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. Where reference is made to a specic number of specimens to be tested, the speci
42、ed 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 harmoniza
43、tion This standard uses the IEC format but is not based on, nor is 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 as follows:
44、 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 justication, or the level of p
45、rotection that the country considers appropriate. Presentation is word for word except for editorial changes. Reasons for differences from IEC This standard provides general requirements for electric vehicle supply equipment for use in accordance with the electrical installation codes of Canada, Mex
46、ico, and the United States. At present there is no IEC standard for these products for use in accordance with these codes. Therefore, this standard does not employ any IEC standard for base requirements. FEBRUARY 22, 2013 NMX-J-677-ANCE-2013 CSA C22.2 NO. 280-13 UL 2594 7UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT
