Standards
This standard outlines a code of safety for chemical laboratories.
This standard specifies the general labelling requirements for Electrical Equipment, Fittings and household electrical appliances and their detachable heating element(s) if any, offered for sale in Guyana. This Guyana Standard shall be applied for all Electrical Equipment, Fittings and household electrical appliance, should there be a standard for a particular product it shall be applied in conjunction with the labelling requirements of this standard.
This standard specifies requirements for the labelling of household chemicals sold in Guyana, whether locally made or imported, and gives a series of warning labels corresponding to the designated classes of dangerous goods as detailed in Appendix A. This standard shall be read in conjunction with GYS 9-1 :1994, “Specification for labelling of commodities - Part 1: General principles”.
The requirements cover television equipment intended for household and commercial use on supply circuits in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
This standards covers thermoplastic and rubber tapes for use as electrical insulation at not more than 600 V and at 80C (176 F) and lower temperatures on joints and splices in wires and cables in accordance with the National Electrical Code. It is intended that rubber tape on a joint or splice be mechanically protected by a covering such as friction tape . Thermoplastic tape is acceptable without the additional mechanical protection.
These requirements cover portable, stationary, and fixed uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) rated 600 volts or less ac or dc that are intended for installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. During intended operation, the UPS allows the utility to deliver ac and dc power to the connected load through either the power conversion portion of the UPS or a bypass source. The power conversion portion of the UPS consists of a rectifier and an inverter. During periods of power fluctuations, or power outage, or both, the connected load receives ac and dc power from the battery supply and power conversion portion of the UPS.
This standard specifies physical and active ingredient and requirements and methods of test for mosquito coils.
This standard specifies the method for evaluation of the biological efficacy of mosquito coils by the use of glass chamber method. This method provides a satisfactory means of determining the relative efficacy of mosquito coils.
This standard describes the requirements and operational parameters for electrical appliance protectors for use with equipment at normal voltage of 110V, 120V,220V, 240V and a current of up to including 40 A.
