CAN/CSA-E335-2-61-95 (R2005) PDF Download

A standard known as CAN/CSA-E335-2-61-95 (R2005) focuses on the safety criteria for thermal storage room heaters used in homes and other similar settings. The standard is applicable to heaters that are intended to heat a particular room and have a maximum rated voltage of 480 volts for other appliances and 250 volts for single-phase appliances. The standard's scope also covers equipment used in stores, light industries, and farms that could potentially endanger the public.

The standard's goal is to address the typical risks that homeowners and others in the neighborhood face while using thermal storage room heaters. The guideline does not, however, cover all situations, such as when young children or individuals with impairments use equipment without adult supervision or when children intentionally damage or play with it.

The standard offers recommendations for self-contained thermal storage room heaters and can be used as a guide to establish standards and requirements for testing additional varieties of thermal storage heaters. It should be noted, nevertheless, that heaters used in vehicles, boats, or airplanes, as well as in tropical nations, may require additional specifications. Furthermore, it may also be necessary to adhere to particular national rules and specifications established by regulatory bodies like labor protection offices and health authorities.

Heaters made specifically for industrial use, heaters integrated into building structures, central heating systems, floor heating installations, sauna heaters (which are covered by IEC 335-2-53), and heaters intended for use in environments with corrosive or explosive atmospheres are all exempt from the requirements of the standard.
