【Safety News】Do you know that the North American CSA and C-UL Household Fans certification will be updated?
|
With the publication of the Canadian CSA Standard CSA-C22.2 No. 60335-2-80:17, the original North American CSA and C-UL household fan certification will be changed from CSA-C22.2 No.113-15 to CSA-C22.2 No. 60335-2-80: 17.
CSA-C22.2 No. 60335-2-80: 17 is based on IEC 60335-2-80 3rd edition with Canadian deviations. The basic standards used to investigate household fans are CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 60335-1 and CSA-C22.2 No. 60335-2-80.
