It is the rst edition
22、of NMX-J-009/248/19-ANCE , the rst edition of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No 248.19, and the rst edition of UL 248-19. This harmonized standard was prepared by the Association of Standardization and Certication, (ANCE), CSA Group and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). The efforts and support of the Technical Ha
23、rmonization Subcommittee, THC 32B under CANENA on the Harmonization of Electrotechnical Standards of the Nations of the Americas (CANENA), are gratefully acknowledged. The present Mexican standard was developed by the CT 32 “Fusibles” from the Comite de Normalizacion de la Asociacion de Normalizacio
24、n y Certicacion, A.C., CONANCE, with the collaboration of the manufacturers and users of fuses. This standard was reviewed by the CSA Subcommittee on Fuses and Fuseholders, , under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Industrial Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on requ
25、irements 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 tes
26、ted, 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. Inte
27、rpretations 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
28、 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.
