21、 3UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL Preface This is the common CSA and UL standard for Coated electrical sleeving. It is the second edition of CSA C22.2 No. 198.3 and the fourth edition of UL 1441. This edition of CSA C22.2 No.
22、 198.3 supersedes the previous edition published in 1995. This edition of UL 1441 supersedes the previous edition published in 1995. This common standard was prepared by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). The efforts and support of the Technical Harmoni
23、zation Committee 15C (Electrical Tubing and Sleeving Products) of the Council on the Harmonization of Electrotechnical Standards of the Nations of the Americas (CANENA) are gratefully acknowledged. This standard was reviewed by the CSA Subcommittee on Insulation Systems, under the jurisdiction of th
24、e CSA Technical Committee on Wiring Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the CSA Technical Committee. This standard will be submitted to the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) for approval as a National Standard of
25、Canada. 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 samples to be tested, the specied number shall be considered a minimum quantity. Note: Although the intended primary application
26、 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 harmonization This standard uses the IEC format but is not based on, nor is it to be considered equivalent
27、 to, an IEC standard. This standard is published as an equivalent standard for CSA 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 r
28、ecognized 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 protection that the country considers appropriate. Presentation is word for word except for editorial
29、changes. Reasons for differences from IEC The Technical Harmonization Subcommittee identied the following standard as being within the scope of this standard: IEC 60684, Flexible Insulating Sleeving. IEC 60684 and UL 1441/CSA C22.2 No. 198.3 are similar but not identical. Both standards cover multip
30、le, but not identical, products and similar methods. The THC agreed to address the issues involved in the harmonization of these standards during the next revision of UL 1441/CSA C22.2 No. 198.3.

31、PRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 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 de
32、velopment 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 organizations to more accurately reect the intent. CSA effective date The effective date for CSA International will be
33、announced through CSA Informs or a CSA certication notice. UL effective date As of September 16, 2005 all products Listed or Recognized by UL must comply with the requirements in this standard except for Clause 6 which is effective September 16, 2006. New product submittals to UL may be evaluated un
34、der all requirements in this standard or, if requested in writing, evaluated under presently effective requirements only. The presently effective requirements are contained in the Third edition of UL 1441. A UL effective date is one established by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and is not part of th
35、e ANSI approved standard. SEPTEMBER 16, 2005 CSA C22.2 NO. 198.3-05 UL 1441 5UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL Coated electrical sleeving 1 Scope 1.1 The requirements of this Standard apply to Grades A and B acrylic-polymer-coa
36、ted, silicone-polymer-coated, or vinyl-polymer-coated electrical sleeving that consists of closely woven fabric made from glass (see Table 1 for materials and ratings) and intended for use in equipment designed to be installed and used in accordance with the rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Pa
37、rt I (CEC), or ANSI/NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC). A product for use at temperatures greater than indicated in Clause 1.2 or a different polymer coating or bre may be acceptable provided that (a) it meets the performance tests in this Standard; and (b) long-term heat-aging tests are conduc
38、ted as covered in UL 746B or CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 0.17, using dielectric strength as a primary property and ammability as a secondary property. 1.2 These requirements apply to coated electrical sleeving having a standard temperature index classication of 105, 130, 155, 180, 200, 220, and 240 C. 1.3 The
39、se requirements apply to coated electrical sleeving intended for use in connection with the internal wiring of electrical devices and appliances located in dry or damp locations where it is not feasible to employ a standard insulated conductor, such as appliance-wiring material, specically intended
40、for the purpose. Coated electrical sleeving is intended for insulating one or more uninsulated or partially insulated conductors, bus bars, component leads, or assemblies of electrical components. Coated electrical sleeving may be employed in equipment where it is not subjected to repeated exing or
41、severe mechanical stress. 1.4 These requirements apply to oil-resistant coated electrical sleeving intended for occasional or intermittent contact with oil. 1.5 These requirements do not apply to unimpregnated or uncoated fabric sleeving, which is generally not considered acceptable for sole (functi
42、onal) insulation because of the openings inherent in the weave construction of the sleeving fabric. 1.6 These requirements do not apply to tubing extruded with reinforcement, extruded electrical tubing, or tubing intended only for mechanical protection, since they are covered by other requirements.
43、1.7 These requirements do not apply to coated electrical sleeving when it is employed as splice insulation in an insulation system above 105 C (Class A) operation. 2 Reference publications and denitions 2.1 Reference publications For undated references to standards, such reference shall be considere
