CSA C22.2 NO. 61914:23

CSA Preface

This is the first edition of CSA C22.2 No. 61914, Cable cleats for electrical installations, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 61914 (third edition, 2021-10). It is one in a series of Standards issued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code.

For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as CSA C22.2 No. 61914 throughout.

This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard.

This Standard was reviewed for Canadian adoption by the CSA Integrated Committee on Wiring Devices, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Wiring Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee.

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.

Scope

This International Standard specifies requirements and tests for cable cleats used for securing cables in electrical installations and for intermediate restraints used for holding cables together in formation in electrical installations. Cable cleats provide resistance to electromechanical forces where declared. This document includes cable cleats that rely on a mounting surface specified by the manufacturer for axial and/or lateral retention of cables.

Various types of cable cleats and intermediate restraints are shown in Annex A.

NOTE Requirements for manufacturers in this document also apply to importers and responsible vendors where appropriate.

This document does not apply to cable ties.
