Preface
This is the first edition of CSA Standard C22.2 No. 1335.1, Portable Electrical Motor-Operated and Heating Appliances: General Requirements, part of a series of Standards issued by the Canadian Standards Association under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code. It is written in SI (metric) units.
This edition of the Standard contains requirements pertaining to motor-operated food-processing appliances that were formerly in CSA Standard C22.2 No. 195, Motor-Operated Food Processing Appliances (Household and Commercial) and also requirements for household cooking and liquid-heating appliances that were formerly in CSA Standard CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 64, Household Cooking and Liquid-Heating Appliances.
CSA Standard C22.2 No. 1335.1 is based on IEC Publication 335-1. Where Canadian deviations have necessitated the deletion of IEC Publication 335-1 text, the IEC text has been retained but has been overstricken to indicate it as nonmandatory. Text added to IEC Publication 335-1 as mandatory has been underlined including, where feasible, Tables and Figures.
It should be noted that in this Standard the following print types are used:
(a) requirements: in roman type;
(b) test specifications: in italic type;
(c) notes: which are a nonmandatory part of the Standard, in small roman type; and
(d) words in bold in the text are defined in Clause 2.
This Standard contains general requirements and is intended to be used in conjunction with the appropriate particular Standard for specific products, which contains Clauses to supplement or modify the corresponding Clauses in the general requirements, to provide the relevant requirements for each type of product.
If the functions of an appliance are covered by different particular Standards, the relevant particular Standard is applied to each function separately, so far as is reasonable. If applicable, the influence of one function on the other is taken into account.
For general information about the Standards of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part II, see the Preface of the latest issue of CSA Standard CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 0, General Requirements—Canadian Electrical Code, Part II.
In view of the above Canadian terminology, and in order to avoid confusion, the term General Requirements is used in place of Part 1 in IEC Publication 335-1, and the term Particular Standard is used in place of Part 2.
This Standard was prepared by a Subcommittee of the Technical Committee on Consumer and Commercial Products under the jurisdiction of the Standards Steering Committee on the Canadian Electrical Code, Part II, and was formally approved by these Committees.
Scope
