It supersedes the previous edition, published in 1994 as CAN/CSA-E335-2-44 (adopted CEI/IEC 335-2-44:1987)

This Standard was reviewed for Canadian adoption by the CSA Technical Committee on International Standards under the jurisdiction of the Strategic Resource Group, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. A list of the members of the Technical Committee is available upon request. This Standard has been approved as a National Standard of Canada by the Standards Council of Canada.
