Product Details
Preface
This is the fourth edition of CSA C22.2 No. 0.15, Adhesive labels. It supersedes the previous editions published in 2001, 1995, and 1990. This Standard is one of a series of Standards issued under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code.
It is intended that this Standard be referenced by interested groups, such as the Subcommittees of Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code, in their standards-writing activities. The utilization of the test procedures included in this Standard will serve to standardize the diversified test requirements for the various types of adhesive labels and nameplates.
Significant changes from the third edition include the following:
a) the document has been restructured for better flow and organization;
b) abrasion requirements in Clause 8.2.11 have been revised to be in line with adhesive labeling materials that are used today; and
c) Table 1 has been added for clarification of heat-cold-humidity requirements.
This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.
