CSA C828-13/R2018

Preface

This is the third edition of CSA C828, Performance requirements for thermostats used with individual room electric space heating devices. It supersedes the previous editions published in 2006 and 1999.

This Standard deals with the thermal regulation and electromagnetic compatibility of thermostats used with individual room electric space heating devices.

Scope
1.1 General
This Standard specifies performance requirements for thermostat models intended for line-voltage (120 to 240 V) switching of a controlled resistive heating load.

The models covered by this Standard are as follows:
a) wall-mounted line-voltage thermostats used with baseboards, panel convectors, fan-forced heaters or radiant floors;
b) built-in line-voltage thermostats (up to 1500 W) used in baseboards, panel convectors or fan-forced heaters; and
c) two-component thermostats.

This Standard’s requirements apply only to local zone thermostats; they do not apply to central heating units under the control of a single thermostat and thermostats in portable heaters.
