    Preface


    This is the third edition of CSA C22.2 No. 159 Plugs, connectors, receptacles, and similar wiring devices for use in hazardous locations. It supersedes the previous editions published in 1987 and 1982 under the title Attachment plugs, receptacles, and similar wiring devices for use in hazardous locations.

    a) addition of Division 2 and Class III;

    c) addition of Annex A to indicate how C22.2 No. 182.1 and C22.2 No. 182.3 are applied for the products covered by this Standard.


    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.
