1. Scope 1.1 This Standard applies to equipment for installation and use in
accordance with the rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I,
other than conduit couplings. 1.2 This Standard includes basic construction and inspection requirements
for the threaded entry for conduit into an electrical enclosure in
order to assure: (a) The adequacy of a grounding path provided by rigid metal conduit
in accordance with the rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I;
and (b) That threaded conduit entries are unlikely to cause damage to the
insulation of conductors that are installed in a raceway of rigid metal
conduit in accordance with the rules of the Canadian Electrical Code,
Part I. Note: In Clause 1.2 the word "enclosure" is used to include a variety
of structures with an enclosing function, whether constituting part of
a raceway or an enclosure (of a switch, for example). 1.3 This Standard does not include requirements for material of
construction, design proportions, protection against corrosion, and
other matters that are more appropriately included in the scope of
individual Standards applicable to specific equipment.
