This standard specifies requirements for the operation of testing and/or calibration laboratories. It is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing activities.

This Standard applies to self-contained household refrigerators and freezers designed to be installed and used in residential occupancies in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA Standard C22.1, and the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

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.

This standard specifies requirements and dimensions for PVC insulated cables for operation at nominal voltages up to and including 1900 V to armour or earth and 3300 V between conductors.

This standard covers thermoplastic and rubber tapes for use as electrical insulation at not more than 600 V and at 80 C (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.

This document specifies the general requirements for the competence, impartiality and consistent operation of laboratories. It is applicable to all organizations performing laboratory activities, regardless of the number of personnel.

Laboratory customers, regulatory authorities, organizations and schemes using peer-assessment, accreditation bodies, and others use this document in confirming or recognizing the competence of laboratories.

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.
