Interim Certification Requirements for insulation displacement (IDC) type terminations used in speci...
At the request of industry, the requirements in this TIL have been developed to allow certification of terminations for special-use, known as Insulation Displacement (IDC) connectors. These types of terminations are presently used in other products such as general use switches and receptacles. This TIL is based on requirements from CSA standards C22.2 No.111 and 42 with slight modifications for…
Interim Energy Efficiency Certification and verification Requirements for Household Clothes Dryers
This Technical Information Letter (TIL.) has been prepared to offer an alternative path to calculate energy factor (EF) and per cycle electrical energy (ET) for household clothes dryers if manufacturers choose to use the new US DOE test procedure (10 CFR Part 430 Subpart B Appendix D1) instead of CAN/CSA C361-92. Manufacturers have the option of using either the test procedure contained within…
Interim Certification Requirements for Self Ballasted Tubular LED (TLED) Type A Lamps
This Technical Information Letter (or TIL) shall be used in conjunction with CSA Standard C22.2 No 1993-12, and contains construction, marking and test requirements for Type A Tubular Light-Emitting Diode (TLED) devices that have the general appearance, length and base types of a conventional fluorescent lamp, and are intended to directly replace a fluorescent lamp that complies with ANSI NEMA…
Interim Energy Efficiency Certification and Verification Requirements for Household Clothes Washers
This Technical Information Letter (T.I.L.) has been prepared to offer an alternative path to calculate modified energy factor (MEF), water consumption factor (WF), total annual energy consumption (E), clothes container capacity (VC) and per cycle electrical energy consumption for removal of moisture (DE) for household clothes washer if manufacturers choose to use
the new US DOE test procedure (10…
This Technical Information Letter (TIL) has been prepared to announce CSA's early adoption of approved requirements for rigid polyvinylchloride (PVC) pressure pipe, PVC injection-moulded gasketed pressure fittings, and molecularly oriented polyvinylchloride (PVCO) pressure pipe.
Interim Certification Requirements for Photovoltaic (PV) DC Arc-Fault Protection (DC-AFP)
This Technical Information Letter (T.I.L.) applies to DC arc-fault protective-devices (DC-AFPDs) and devices incorporating arc-fault circuit protection intended for use in direct current circuits having a maximum voltage rating of 1000V. A DC-AFPD is intended to detect and mitigate the effects of arcing faults, which may pose a risk of fire ignition under certain conditions if the arcing persists…
