scope:

This Standard applies to single- or multiple-conductor, round, flat, or coiled appliance wiring material products classified as follows:

(a) Class I - internal wiring of equipment (single- or multiple-conductor constructions with or without a covering or jacket):

(i) Group A - not subject to mechanical abuse; and

(ii) Group B - potentially subject to mechanical abuse:

(1) wet; and

(2) oil; and

(b) Class II - external/interconnecting wires (single- or multiple-conductor constructions with a jacket):

(i) Group A - not subject to mechanical abuse; and

(ii) Group B - potentially subject to mechanical abuse:

(1) wet; and

(2) oil.

Notes:

(1) As there is a great variety of applications for appliance wiring material products, the use of such a product should be evaluated with the design and construction of the end-use application in mind and should not be judged solely by the requirements of this Standard.

(2) Class I and II products are Group A, B, or both.

(3) Group markings (A, B, or both) relate to tests performed on the individual insulated conductors. Group marking that includes both A and B means all insulated conductors pass Group B tests.

Clauses 1 to 6 are general in nature and apply, unless otherwise noted, to the appliance wiring material products covered by Clauses 7 to 10.

This Standard also applies to appliance wiring material products that have a jacket or overall insulating covering and are used to connect or interconnect data processing and similar systems in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.
