33、nt, Communication, and MarineCables, under the jurisdiction of the Technical Committee on Wiring Products and the Strategic SteeringCommittee on Requirements for Electrical Safety.Interpretations: The Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety has provided thefollowing direct
34、ion for the interpretation of standards under its jurisdiction:“Theliteral text shall be usedin judging compliance of products with the safety requirements of this Standard. When the literal textcannot be applied to the product, such as for new materials or construction, and when a relevantcommittee
35、 interpretation has not already been published, CSAs procedures for interpretation shall befollowed to determine the intended safety principle.”Notes:1) Use of the singular does not exclude the plural (and vice versa) when the sense allows.2) Although the intended primary application of this Standar
36、d 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 by CSA Policy governing standardization Codeof good practice for standa
37、rdization 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 not be in full agreement with all clauses of this Standard.4) To submit a
38、 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 clause, and, where appropriate, include anillustrative sketch;b) provide an
39、 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 accordance with the CSA Directives and guidelines governingstandardizatio
40、n 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, and suggestions for its improvementwill be referred to the appropriate committee. To submit a proposal for change, please send the
41、 followinginformation to inquiriescsagroup.org and include “Proposal for change” in the subject line:a) Standard designation (number);C22.2 No. 208-14Fire alarm and signal cableJuly 2014 2014 CSA Group 9b) relevant clause,table, and/or figure number;c) wording of the proposed change; andd) rationale
42、 for the change.C22.2 No. 208-14Fire alarm and signal cableJuly 2014 2014 CSA Group 10C22.2 No. 208-14Fire alarm and signal cable1 Scope1.1This Standard applies to single- and multiple-conductor fire alarm and signal cables with a maximumnominal voltage rating of 300 V and a minimum temperature rati
43、ng of 60 C for use in buildings andother structures in dry or damp locations in accordance with the Rules of Sections 16 and 32 of theCanadian Electrical Code, Part I.1.2Because other CSA Group Standards specify requirements for certain constructions suitable for use as firealarm and signal cable, t
44、his Standard does not cover all such constructions.1.3The designations for constructions covered by this Standard use the letters FAS followed, forconstructions rated above 60 C, by the temperature rating. The type designations are as follows:a) FAS;b) FAS 90;c) FAS 105;d) FAS 150; ande) FAS 200.1.4
45、In 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 advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permiss
46、iblewithin 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 informative material.Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure
47、 and may be written asrequirements.Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (nonmandatory)to define theirapplication.C22.2 No. 208-14Fire alarm and signal cableJuly 2014 2014 CSA Group 112 Reference publicationsThis Standard refers to the following publications, and where such ref
