3、andards Association, which operates under the name CSA International (CSA), under whose auspices this National Standard has been produced, was chartered in 1919 and accredited by the Standards Council of Canada to the National Standards system in 1973. It is a not-for-profit, nonstatutory, voluntary
4、 membership association engaged in standards development and certification activities. CSA standards reflect a national consensus of producers and users including manufacturers, consumers, retailers, unions and professional organizations, and governmental agencies. The standards are used widely by i
5、ndustry and commerce and often adopted by municipal, provincial, and federal governments in their regulations, particularly in the fields of health, safety, building and construction, and the environment. Individuals, companies, and associations across Canada indicate their support for CSAs standard
6、s development by volunteering their time and skills to CSA Committee work and supporting the Associations objectives through sustaining memberships. The more than 7000 committee volunteers and the 2000 sustaining memberships together form CSAs total membership from which its Directors are chosen. Su
7、staining memberships represent a major source of income for CSAs standards development activities. The Association offers certification and testing services in support of and as an extension to its standards development activities. To ensure the integrity of its certification process, the Associatio
8、n regularly and continually audits and inspects products that bear the CSA Mark. In addition to its head office and laboratory complex in Toronto, CSA has regional branch offices in major centres across Canada and inspection and testing agencies in eight countries. Since 1919, the Association has de
9、veloped the necessary expertise to meet its corporate mission: CSA is an independent service organization whose mission is to provide an open and effective forum for activities facilitating the exchange of goods and services through the use of standards, certification and related services to meet na
10、tional and international needs.

11、mous organizations working towards the further development and improvement of voluntary standardization in the national interest. The principal objects of the Council are to foster and promote voluntary standardization as a means of advancing the national economy, benefiting the health, safety, and
12、welfare of the public, assisting and protecting the consumer, facilitating domestic and international trade, and furthering international cooperation in the field of standards. A National Standard of Canada is a standard which has been approved by the Standards Council of Canada and one which reflec
13、ts a reasonable agreement among the views of a number of capable individuals whose collective interests provide to the greatest practicable extent a balance of representation of producers, users, consumers, and others with relevant interests, as may be appropriate to the subject in hand. It normally
14、 is a standard which is capable of making a significant and timely contribution to the national interest. Approval of a standard as a National Standard of Canada indicates that a standard conforms to the criteria and procedures established by the Standards Council of Canada. Approval does not refer
15、to the technical content of the standard; this remains the continuing responsibility of the accredited standards-development organization. Those who have a need to apply standards are encouraged to use National Standards of Canada whenever practicable. These standards are subject to periodic review;
16、 therefore, users are cautioned to obtain the latest edition from the organization preparing the standard. The responsibility for approving National Standards of Canada rests with the Standards Council of Canada 45 OConnor Street, Suite 1200 Ottawa, Ontario, Ki P 6N7 Canada 0 Les normes nationales d

An amendment to Clause 4.2.4.1 has been formafly approved and is incorporated (and identif
19、ied by a vertical line in the margin) in the attached replacement pages. CSA Standard CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 1 5-M91 now consists of the following pages: 312 and 1534 dated February 1991; and 1314A dated November 1992. These replacement pages are to be inserted into your copy of the Standard; the pages r

Construction 4.1 General 4.1.1 Electrical components shall be suitable for the application and shall conform to the relevant Standard or Standards of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part II, insofar as they apply. 4.1.2 Warming pads intended to be applied direc
21、tly to any part of the human body shall be of the waterproof type. (See Clause 6.2.) 4.2 General-Use Pads 4.2.1 Heating Element Enclosure 4.2.1.1 The heat element shall be in an inner covering which shall completely enclose all live parts and shall be held securely in place. 4.2.1.2 The material use
22、d for the inner covering shall either be heavy enough to prevent abrasion and tearing at points where these are liable to occur (eg, where the thermostats are located, where the supply wire enters), or shall be reinforced at such points by an additional thickness of material, or some approved equiva
23、lent means. 4.2.1.3 An absorption-resisting envelope meeting the requirements of Clauses 6.1.4.1 and 6.1.9.3 shall be furnished to enclose the inner covering. Note: An additional covering of textile material, to surround the absorption-resisting covering, may be furnished. This additional covering m
24、ay be removable. 4.2.2 Heating Element 4.2.2.1 The heat element wire shall be wound evenly on a flexible core and shall be provided with insulation over the conductor. The material forming the flexible core and the insulating covering shall comply with the flame test specified in Clause 6.4.6. Asbes
25、tos shall not be used as the insulating material covering the flexible core. 4.2.2.2 The heat element shall be held securely in position and shall be located so that the heat is evenly distributed in the pad. If sewn in position, the sewing operation shall not damage the element. The heat element sh
26、all be secured to slow-burning material which complies with the flame test of Clause 6.4.7. Note: Cotton duck and wool are sufficiently slow-burning to be acceptable as suitable material for such fabric, but flannelette (cotton material) has a nap and is not acceptable, unless it has CAN/CSA-C22.2 N

The aging
29、test shall be in accordance with CSA Standard C22.2 No. 0.3, using an oven temperature of 121C, and the duration of the conditioning shall be 14 d. 4.2.2.5 The heat element shall withstand without breakdown the low- temperature bending and dielectric strength tests specified in Clause 6.4.1 and 6.4.
30、5. 4.2.2.6 The maximum deformation of the heat element insulation shall not exceed 50% when subjected to the test specified in Clause 6.4.2. 4.2.2.7 The heat element insulation shall show no signs of cracks, and breakdown shall not occur after the aging, flexibility, and dielectric strength tests sp
31、ecified in Clause 6.4. 4.2.2.8 The heat element shall meet the insulation-resistance requirements of Clause 6.4.4. 4.2.2.9 The heat element shall meet the dielectric strength requirements of Clause 6.4.5. 4.2.3 Heating Pads in Cushions Electrically heated warming pads installed in cushions shall be
32、of the waterproof type and shall comply with Clause 6.2, Tests for Waterproof Pads. 4.2.4 Thermostats 4.2.4.1 A warming pad shall be provided with a sufficient number of thermostats connected so that no section of the heating element will be in series with less than two thermostats under any operati
33、ng condition. Warming pads shall have a separate thermostat located so that it affords protection for each 600 cm2 of the outside surface of the pad or fraction thereof exceeding CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 15-M91 - November 1992 - Page 14 (Replaces p. 14, February 1991) 100 cm2, the outside surface being con
34、sidered with respect to one side only. Thermostats are not required for warming pads that incorporate PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) type heating element wire or that meet the heating tests specified in Clause 6.1.5 without any temperature-regulating device.
