It also applies to fan-type air-to-air heat exchangers, component fans including extra-low voltage component fans, and to commercial fans and blowers used for carpet cleaning or flood restoration and remediation. 1.5 This Standard does not apply to the following: (a) air conditioning equipment; (b) electric air heaters; (c) fan coil units; (d) humidifiers; (e) evaporative coolers; (f) electrostatic or ionizer air cleaners; (g) blowers of particulate matter; (h) air-to-air heat exchangers with gas or oil-fired heating means; (i) air curtains with heaters; (j) fans and ventilators intended to exhaust flammable vapours; and (k) fans and ventilators intended to be used with vehicle exhaust systems. 1.6 Throughout this Standard, the term “fan” also includes ventilators. 1.7 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; 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 (nonmandatory) to define their application. 1.8 The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard.
