Landscaping and landscaping equipment standards are published primarily by the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute. Included is the OPEI 5395 series, which is the guideline for safe operation of different kinds of lawn mowers including rideable and pedestrian-controlled. Other standards included in this list cover irrigation systems, lighting, mulch films, chainsaws, and electric hedge trimmers.
The safety specifications given in this standard are for powered (a) reel and rotary pedestrian-controlled lawn mowers, (b) reel and rotary ride-on lawn mowers, (c) ride-on lawn tractors with mower attachments, (d) ride-on lawn and garden tractors with mower attachments, and (e) lever-steer and zero-turn ride-on mowers. These specifications are intended to provide safety requirements and to help ensure uniform operator environments. They are intended to apply to products specifically intended as consumer products for the personal use of a consumer around a house.
The safety specifications given in this standard are for powered (a) pedestrian-controlled machines, (b) ride-on machines and (c) implements for use with pedestrian and ride-on machines intended for marketing as commercial turf care equipment and that are customarily used by hired operators. Equipment covered may consist of two or more components that are functionally connected and may be produced by different manufacturers. Specific requirements are established in the standard for reel, rotary, and flail mowers as well as power rakes because of their prevalence, but this standard is intended to apply to all types of commercial turf care equipment. Each functional component shall conform to each section of this standard as it logically applies. Additionally, this standard applies to all aftermarket parts, attachments and accessories. Any manufacturer of aftermarket parts, attachments, implements, and accessories is responsible for ensuring compliance to this standard. Safety specifications in this standard apply only to a configuration of attachments, implements, and accessories approved by their respective manufacturers.
The requirements of this standard apply to handheld and backpack internal combustion engine-powered blowers and blower-vacuums. This standard does not apply to ride-on, towed, or walk-behind units. This standard does not apply to electrically powered units.
This part of OPEI 5395 specifies terminology and common test methods used for verification of safety requirements for combustion engine powered rotary lawnmowers and cylinder lawnmowers including pedestrian-controlled (with or without sulky) and ride-on types (hereafter named "lawnmower"), and equipped with: - metallic cutting means and/or; - non-metallic cutting means with one or more cutting elements pivotally mounted on a generally circular drive unit, where these cutting elements rely on centrifugal force to achieve cutting, and have a kinetic energy for each single cutting element of 10 J (7.4 ft-lb) or more.

This standard describes a test method to determine an irrigation controller’s ability to respond to weather and conditions found within the typical landscape. Sometimes called “smart control systems” or “smart controllers,” these are controllers or devices that respond to environmental conditions by estimating or measuring depletion of available plant soil moisture in order to operate an irrigation system, replenishing water as needed while minimizing excess water use.
This standard is intended to establish minimum requirements for landscape irrigation emission devices to ensure adequate safety and performance, specify testing methods used to quantify product performance to enable componenet selection and specification in irrigation systems, and promote uniformity in classifying, rating and marking landscape irrigation emission devices.
This standard provides methods for evaluating the application rate and/or uniformity of coverage of installed landscape irrigation systems. The landscapes covered include continuous areas of turf or small ground cover, or other areas where irrigation coverage is unimpeded by the landscape materials.
Preface This is the third edition of CSA C22.2 No. 250.7, Extra-low-voltage landscape lighting systems . This Standard is one of a series of Standards issued under the Canadian Electrical Code, Part II. It supersedes the previous editions published in 2020 and 2007. The following are the major changes to this edition: a) clarification for the use of LEDs and lasers that generate coherent light; b) removal of testing requirements for in-ground recessed landscape luminaire assemblies; c) clarification for the testing and marking requirements for power supplies and simplification of the use of light sources in luminaire assemblies; d) clarification for the testing of luminaires during the normal temperature tests; e) addition of marking for outdoor luminaires that require installation in or on a non-combustible material; and f) updates in accordance with CSA C22.2 No. 250.0 and other minor editorial corrections. This Standard contains specific requirements for extra-low-voltage landscape lighting systems and is intended to be used together with the requirements for luminaires contained in CSA C22.2 No. 250.0. This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. This Standard was prepared by the Integrated Committee on Lighting Products, under the jurisdiction of the Technical Committee on Consumer and Commercial Products and the 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 1.1 This Standard applies to extra-low-voltage landscape lighting systems and associated components that are intended for cord-connected, direct plug-in, or permanent connection to a branch circuit of not more than 150 volts-to-ground in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I. 1.2 This Standard only covers extra-low-voltage landscape lighting systems where the maximum output circuit is 300 VA or 25 A, whichever is less, from each of the secondary safety extra-low-voltage circuits (SELV). 1.3 Extra-low-voltage landscape lighting systems covered by this Standard are intended for gardens, walkways, patio areas, or similar outdoor locations, and for specific indoor locations such as atriums and shopping malls in accordance with the marking on the product. 1.4 This Standard applies to the following associated components: a) the isolating-type power supply; b) one or more luminaire assemblies of the incandescent, fluorescent, LED, or HID type; and c) flexible cable and associated connectors intended for use in the secondary circuit. 1.5 This Standard does not apply to luminaires covered by the following standards: a) submersible luminaires covered by CSA C22.2 No. 89; b) Christmas tree and other decorative lighting outfits covered by CSA C22.2 No. 37; and c) portable luminaires covered by CSA C22.2 No. 250.4. 1.6 In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application. 1.7 The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.
This methodology will provide an estimate of plant water demands of permanently installed, non-production based, established landscape materials. The standard will provide minimum water demands for acceptable plant appearance and function. This standard does not cover plants for sports fields, golf courses, or food production. This methodology is applicable for planning and design of planted landscape areas as defined in section 3. It is assumed throughout this standard that the soil around the plants in question are wetted uniformly by precipitation or irrigation.
