(a) metric designators for trade sizes;

1. Scope

1.1 This Standard applies to rigid PVC conduit – type EB1 for encasement in concrete or masonry and type DB2/ES2 for direct burial or encasement in concrete or masonry – and associated fittings in accordance with the Rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, for ordinary locations.

1.3 The accessories covered by this Standard include straight couplings, 5? angle couplings, caps, plugs, bell end terminators, bends, and adapters.

1.4 In CSA Standards, “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; “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard; and “can” is used to express possibility or capability. 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.
