45、is informative and is not part of the standard.With the onset of the Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Canada on January 2, 1988,significant attention was given to the harmonization of the United States and Canadian safety standardsaddressing gas-fired equipment for residential, com
46、mercial, and industrial applications. It was believedthat the elimination of the differences between the standards would remove potential trade barriersand provide an atmosphere in which North American manufacturers could market more freely in theUnited States and Canada. The harmonization of these
47、standards was also seen as a step towardharmonization with international standards.A draft harmonized standard for connectors for moveable gas appliances was prepared for review bythe Z21/CGA Joint Connector Subcommittee. The draft harmonized standard for connectors formoveable gas appliances is bas
48、ed on the American National Standard for Connectors for MoveableAppliances (Z21.69-1992 and Z21.69a-1993) and the National Standard of Canada for MoveableAppliance Connectors (CAN/CGA-6.16-M87).At its September 20, 1994 meeting, the Z21/CGA Joint Connector Subcommittee considered andmodified the pro
49、posed harmonized draft standard and agreed to distribute it for industry review duringApril 1995.With the formation of joint subcommittees, a Canadian Gas Association Standards Steering Committeeon Gas Burning Appliances and Related Accessories was established to parallel Accredited StandardsCommittees Z21 and Z83, and to support the formation of joint subcommittees. Operating procedures,in accordance with American National Standards Institute procedures, for joint subcommittees weredeveloped and subsequently approved by ANSI on April 1, 1993.
