CAN/CSA-C22.2 NO. 60529-05 (R2010) - Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures (IP Code) (Adopted CEI/IEC 60529:1989 + A1:1999, edition 2.1, 2001-02, with Canadian deviations)
CSA Preface
This is the first edition of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60529, Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code), which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled CEI/IEC (Commission ╔lectrotechnique Internationale/International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 60529 (edition 2:1989 consolidated with amendment 1:1999).1. Scope and object
This standard applies to the classification of degrees of protection provided by enclosures for electrical equipment with a rated voltage not exceeding 72,5 kV. The object of this standard is to give: a) Definitions for degrees of protection provided by enclosures of electrical equipment as regards: 1) protection of persons against access to hazardous parts inside the enclosure; 2) protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects; 3) protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against harmful effects due to the ingress of water. b) Designations for these degrees of protection. c) Requirements for each designation. d) Tests to be performed to verify that the enclosure meets the requirements of this standard.It will remain the responsibility of individual technical committees to decide on the extent and manner in which, the classification is used in their standards and to define .enclosure. as it applies to their equipment. However, it is recommended that for a given classification the tests do not differ from those specified in this standard. If necessary, complementary requirements may be included in the relevant product standard.
A guide for the details to be specified in relevant product standards is given in annex B. For a particular type of equipment, a technical committee may specify different requirements provided that at least the same level of safety is ensured.
This standard deals only with enclosures that are in all other respects suitable for their intended use as specified in the relevant product standard and which from the point of view of materials and workmanship ensure that the claimed degrees of protection are maintained under the normal conditions of use.
This standard is also applicable to empty enclosures provided that the general test requirements are met and that the selected degree of protection is suitable for the type of equipment to be protected.
Measures to protect both the enclosure and the equipment inside the enclosure against external influences or conditions such as . mechanical impacts . corrosion . corrosive solvents (for example, cutting liquids) . fungus . vermin . solar radiation . icing . moisture (for example, produced by condensation) . explosive atmospheres and the protection against contact with hazardous moving parts external to the enclosure (such as fans), are matters for the relevant product standard to be protected.
Barriers external to the enclosure and not attached to it and obstacles which have been provided solely for the safety of personnel are not considered as a part of the enclosure and are not dealt with in this standard.

Ce document constitue la premiΦre Θdition de la CAN/CSA-C22.2 n║ 60529, DegrΘs de protection procurΘs par les enveloppes (Code IP). Il s.agit de l.adoption, avec exigences propres au Canada, de la norme CEI/IEC (Commission ╔lectrotechnique Internationale/International Electrotechnical Commission) 60529 (Θdition 2:1989 consolidΘe par l.amendement 1:1999), qui porte le mΩme titre.1 Domaine d.application et objet
La prΘsente norme s.applique α la classification des degrΘs de protection procurΘs par les enveloppes pour les matΘriels Θlectriques de tension assignΘe infΘrieure ou Θgale α 72,5 kV.
L.objet de la prΘsente norme est de donner: a) Les dΘfinitions des degrΘs de protection procurΘs par les enveloppes des matΘriels Θlectriques pour ce qui concerne: 1) la protection des personnes contre l.accΦs aux parties dangereuses α l.intΘrieur de l.enveloppe; 2) la protection des matΘriels α l.intΘrieur de l.enveloppe contre la pΘnΘtration de corps solides Θtrangers; 3) la protection des matΘriels α l.intΘrieur de l.enveloppe contre les effets nuisibles dus α la pΘnΘtration de l.eau. b) Les dΘsignations de ces degrΘs de protection. c) Les prescriptions pour chaque dΘsignation. d) Les essais α effectuer pour vΘrifier que l.enveloppe satisfait aux prescriptions ci-dessus.
Chaque comitΘ d.Θtudes conserve la responsabilitΘ de fixer dans ses normes la maniΦre d.utiliser la classification et les limites de celle-ci, et de dΘfinir ce qui constitue ½l.enveloppe╗ du matΘriel intΘressΘ.
Il est cependant recommandΘ que, pour une classification donnΘe, les essais ne diffΦrent pas de ceux qui sont spΘcifiΘs dans la prΘsente norme.
Si nΘcessaire, des prescriptions complΘmentaires peuvent Ωtre introduites dans la norme de produit particuliΦre. Un guide relatif aux dΘtails α spΘcifier dans les normes particuliΦres de produit est donnΘ en annexe B.
Un comitΘ d.Θtudes peut spΘcifier des exigences diffΘrentes pour un matΘriel particulier α condition qu.elles procurent un degrΘ de sΘcuritΘ au moins aussi bon.
La prΘsente norme ne s.applique qu.aux enveloppes qui conviennent α tous autres Θgards α l.utilisation prΘvue dans la norme particuliΦre de produit, et qui, du point de vue des matΘriaux et de la construction, garantissent que les degrΘs de protection dΘclarΘs demeurent inchangΘs dans les conditions normales d.utilisation.
La prΘsente norme est Θgalement applicable aux enveloppes vides pourvu que les prescriptions d.essais soient satisfaites et que le degrΘ de protection choisi soit appropriΘ au type de matΘriel α protΘger.
Les mesures α prendre pour protΘger α la fois l.enveloppe et le matΘriel α l.intΘrieur de L.enveloppe contre Ies influences ou conditions externes telles que: . impacts mΘcaniques . corrosion . solvants corrosifs (par exemple liquides de coupe) . champignons . vermine . radiation solaire . glace . humiditΘ (par exemple produite par la condensation) . atmosphΦres explosives et la protection contre les contacts avec les parties dangereuses en mouvement externes α l.enveloppe (telles que les ventilateurs), relΦvent de la norme de produit particuliΦre α protΘger.
Les barriΦres extΘrieures α l.enveloppe et non solidaires de celle-ci et les obstacles qui ont ΘtΘ prΘvus pour la seule sΘcuritΘ du personnel ne sont pas considΘrΘs comme faisant partie de l.enveloppe et ne sont pas traitΘs dans la prΘsente norme.
