Effective December 31, 2017
Effective Date (see Schedule below): December 31, 2017
Impact Statement: A review of all Listing Reports is necessary to determine which products comply with new/revised requirements and which products will require re-evaluation. NOTE: Effective immediately, this revised standard will be exclusively used for evaluation of new products unless the Applicant requests in writing that current requirements be used along with their understanding that their listings will be withdrawn on Effective Date noted above, unless the product is found to comply with new/revised requirements.
Overview of Changes:
Appliances currently Certified to a previous edition of the subject standard (E335-2-30 or E60335-2-30) are required to comply with the requirements of CAN/CSA- E60335-2-30:13 prior to the effective date.
Specific details of new/revised requirements between CAN/CSA-E60335-2-30:01 and CAN/CSA-E60335-2-30:13 are found in the table below
Background:
CSA Standards in the 60335-series consist of one “Part 1” (60335-1) and several Part 2 Standards (E60335-2-XX). Each Part 2 is for a more specific product type and works in conjunction with Part 1 by accepting the content of the clause without change, or by adding to, amending or omitting it. The latest edition of the Part 1 is CAN/CSAC22.2 No. 60335-1-11
If the applicable requirements noted in the table are not described in your report(s), these requirements will need to be confirmed as met and added to your report(s) such as markings, instructions, test results, etc. (as required).
The content in this SUN is based on the CSA Certification Notice for Appliances No. 38 dated July 16, 2014
