scope:

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

(a) Class I Internal:

Group (A) - where not subjected to mechanical abuse.

Group (B) - where may be subjected to mechanical abuse.

(1) Wet

(2) Oil; and

(b) Class II External:

Group (A) - where not subjected to mechanical abuse.

Group (B) - where may be subjected to mechanical abuse.

(1) Wet

(2) Oil.

Notes:

(1) As there is a great variety of applications for appliance wiring material products, their use should be evaluated with the design and construction of the end-use application and cannot 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 conductors. Group marking that includes both A and B means all conductors must pass Group B tests.

Clauses 1 to 3, 4 (conductors), 5 (insulations and insulating coverings), and 6 (coverings other than extruded insulating coverings) are general in nature and apply, unless other wise noted, to appliance wiring material products covered by Clauses 7 to 9.

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