33、No. 160, Voltage and polarity testers, one of a series of Standardsissued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code. It supersedes the previous editionspublished in 1985 and 1983.Major changes from the previous edition include the following:a) requirements for the evaluation of prop
34、erties of polymeric materials have been updated;b) corrosion protection requirements have been added; andc) all of the reference standards have been updated.This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of theStandard.This Standard was prepared by the
35、 Subcommittee on Voltage Testers, under the jurisdiction of theTechnical Committee on Industrial Products and the Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements forElectrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee.Interpretations: The Strategic Steering Committee on Requirem
36、ents for Electrical Safety has providedthe following direction for the interpretation of standards under its jurisdiction: “The literal text shall beused in judging compliance of products with the safety requirements of this Standard. When the literaltext cannot be applied to the product, such as fo
37、r new materials or construction, and when a relevantCSA committee interpretation has not already been published, CSA Groups procedures forinterpretation shall be followed to determine the intended safety principle.”Notes:1) Use of the singular does not exclude the plural (and vice versa) when the se
38、nse allows.2) Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to note that itremains the responsibility of the users of the Standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.3) This Standard was developed by consensus, which is defined
39、by CSA Policy governing standardization Codeof good practice for standardization as “substantial agreement. Consensus implies much more than a simplemajority, but not necessarily unanimity”. It is consistent with this definition that a member may be included inthe Technical Committee list and yet no
40、t be in full agreement with all clauses of this Standard.4) To submit a request for interpretation of this Standard, please send the following information toinquiriescsagroup.org and include “Request for interpretation” in the subject line:a) define the problem, making reference to the specific clau
41、se, and, where appropriate, include anillustrative sketch;b) provide an explanation of circumstances surrounding the actual field condition; andc) where possible, phrase the request in such a way that a specific “yes” or “no” answer will address theissue.Committee interpretations are processed in ac
42、cordance with the CSA Directives and guidelines governingstandardization and are available on the Current Standards Activities page at standardsactivities.csa.ca.5) This Standard is subject to review five years from the date of publication. Suggestions for its improvement willbe referred to the appr
43、opriate committee. To submit a proposal for change, please send the followinginformation to inquiriescsagroup.org and include “Proposal for change” in the subject line:a) Standard designation (number);b) relevant clause, table, and/or figure number;c) wording of the proposed change; andd) rationale
44、for the change.C22.2 No. 160-15Voltage and polarity testersSeptember 2015 2015 CSA Group 7C22.2 No. 160-15Voltage and polarity testers1 Scope1.1This Standard applies to voltage and polarity testers for use in nonhazardous locations, in accordancewith the Rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I
45、, on electrical supply circuits and equipment atpoints where the voltage difference does not exceed 750 V.1.2This Standard does not apply to devices primarily intended to measure voltage, such as those thatemploy a meter movement.1.3This Standard does not apply to devices designed specifically for u
46、se by an electric or communicationutility in the exercise of its function as a utility.1.4In this Standard,“shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged tosatisfy in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or thatwhich is
47、 advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissiblewithin the limits of the Standard.Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of anote accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or i
48、nformative material.Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written asrequirements.Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define theirapplication.2 Reference publicationsThis Standard refers to the following publicatio
