It is one in a series of Standards issued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code.

This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60335-1:16, Household and similar electrical appliances — Safety — Part 1: General requirements (adopted IEC 60335-1:2010+A1:2013, with Canadian deviations).

This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope:

This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of electric animal-stunning equipment the rated voltage of which is not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances.

NOTE 101 Battery-operated appliances and other d.c. supplied appliances are within the scope of this standard. Dual supply appliances, either mains-supplied or battery-operated, are regarded as battery-operated appliances when operated in the battery mode.

This standard is applicable to electric animal-stunning equipment for industrial or commercial use, for use on farms or for use in areas where they may be a source of danger to the public.

So far as is practical, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by these types of appliances.

• porcines such as pigs;
• fur animals such as foxes, chinchilla, rabbits and possums;
• mustelids such as mink and polecats;
• other ruminants such as camels.

NOTE 103 The following types of electric animal-stunning equipment are covered by this standard:

• manual, semi-automatic and automatic.

NOTE 104 Attention is drawn to the fact that:

• for electric animal-stunning equipment intended to be used on board ships, additional requirements may be necessary;
• in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities;
• in many countries, additional requirements are specified concerning the humane slaughter of animals.

NOTE 105 This standard does not apply to:

• appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas);
• electric fence energizers (see IEC 60335-2-76);
• electric fishing machines (see IEC 60335-2-86);
