17、o K1R 758 CANADIAN GAS ASSOCIATION The Canadian Gas Association which represents all segments of the natural gas industry, has been accredited by the Standards Council of Canada to prepare National Standards of Canada in the area of equipment for use with natural gas and propane. CGA. founded in 198
18、7, represents distributors, transmission companies. producers, pipeline contractors, manufacturers and allied service organizations. CGA set up a standards writing, inspection and certification program in the mid 198s at a time when natural gas service was being extended to Eastern Canada and the We
19、st Coast. The Standards program now embraces ninety standards for gas appliances and accessories. Committees that write the standards include representation from all interests and are so constituted that no one interest may dominate. The interests represented include consumers, manu facturers, utili
20、ties. governmental inspection authorities and certification agencies. Standards are prepared using the con sensus principle with effort applied to reconcile any negative ballots. Government inspection authorities having jurisdiction also ballot on the standards, sitting as the Interprovincial Gas Ad
21、visory Council (IGAC). The CGA Standards Advisory Committee (SAC) reviews committee structures and procedures to determine that the standard meets the criteria of the Standards Council of Canada. This standard has been accepted by the Standards Committee, IGAC and SAC. This standard is intended to b
22、e used within the scope of the standard by the manufacturing sector, by those applying the equipment, or those responsible for its proper application. It is the responsibility of the user to determine in each case that the standard is suitable for the specific application. The Standards Committee an
23、d IGAC normally stipulate an effect ive date for the standard, delayed sufficiently to permit sup pliers to make adjustments. CGA operates a certification program for fuel fired products which is accepted by all Canadian inspection authorities and accredited by the Standards Council of Canada. In ad
24、dition, through the Canadian Gas Research Institute (CGRI), the gas industry is pursuing improvement of equipment and the develop ment of new products and the data from these projects is avail able to standards committees. Recommendations for new standards and revisions may come from any source, and
25、 these suggestions may be addressed to the Standards Department of the Canadian Gas Association.

32、e such that parts can be replaced or reassembled in a proper manner after being dismantled. 1.5 PLASTIC MATERIALS 1.5.1 Plastic parts shall be resistant to deterioration and deformation from conditions imposed on them in service, in cluding cold weather. 1.5.2 Plastic parts shall not exceed temperat
33、ures of 149F (65C) in service at an ambient temperature of 77F (25C) unless the material is recognized as having special heat resis tant properties. 1.5.3 A plastic panel used as part of the housing shall remain intact when subjected to room temperature and cold impact tests as described in Section
34、2.5 of Part II. 1.6 BASE 1.6.1 The base is considered to be that part of the assembly intended to be anchored to the foundation on which the dispensing device will be installed. It shall be a metal casting of good quality not less than one quarter inch in thickness or of not less than No. 12 gauge s
35、teel or of other materials or constructions reinforced or otherwise stiffened to provide equivalent strength. 1.6.2 The base shall be provided with bolt holes to accom modate bolts of not less than one-half inch (12.7 mm) diameter for anchoring the dispenser. At least 2 holes shall be provided if th
36、e dispenser is not more than 6 feet (1.83 m) high and at least 4 holes if the dispenser is over 6 feet (1.83 m) high. If two holes are provided, they shall be located on opposite sides of the base and at least 13 inches (0.33 m) apart. If more than 2 holes are provided, they shall be located approxi
37、mately symmetrically on a bolt circle having 2 CANl-12.4-M84 April 1984 a diameter of not less than 13 inches (0.33 m). The bolt holes shall be accessible, e.g. by being located in the base at the sides of the dispenser provided with doors or removable panels. 1.7 HOUSING 1.7.1 The construction of t
38、he housing, where provided, shall be such that it will not become warped, bent, loosened, or otherwise damaged in normal operation so as to prevent the device from complying with any of these requirements. Ex posure of the assembly to the weather shall not interfere with the performance of the opera
