    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Preface This is the harmonized CSA and UL Standard for Information Technology Equipment - Safety - Part 22: Equipment to be Installed Outdoors. It is the second edition of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-22 and the second edition of UL 60950-22. This edition of CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-22 supersedes the previous edition published on April 23, 2007. This edition of UL 60950-22 supersedes the previous edition published on April 23, 2007. This harmonized standard is based on IEC Publication 60950-22: second edition, Information Technology Equipment - Safety - Part 22: Equipment to be Installed Outdoors, issued January 2016. IEC 60950-22 is copyrighted by the IEC. Scope 1.1 Equipment covered This part of IEC 60950 applies to information technology equipment intended to be installed in an OUTDOOR LOCATION. The requirements for OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT also apply, where relevant, to OUTDOOR ENCLOSURES suitable for direct installation in the field and supplied for housing information technology equipment to be installed in an OUTDOOR LOCATION. 1.2 Additional requirements Each installation may have particular requirements. Some examples are given in 4.2. In addition, requirements for protection of the OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT against the effects of direct lightning strikes are not covered by the standard. For information on this subject, see IEC 62305-1 NFPA 780 or CAN/CSA-B72.
