Lighting poles
This is the fifth edition of CSA C22.2 No. 206, Lighting poles , part of a series of Standards issued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code. It supersedes the previous editions published in 2022, 2017, 2013, and 1987. The following are the major changes to this edition
The purpose of this Standard is to ensure, through the provision of minimum requirements for construction, the mechanical strength aspects, electrical features, and design-load capabilities of lighting poles. This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. This Standard was prepared by the Integrated Committee on Lighting Products, under the jurisdiction of the Technical Committee on Consumer and Commercial Products and the Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. 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
This Standard applies to free-standing poles of ferrous metal, aluminum, polymeric, concrete, fibre-reinforced structures, and wood, and to their accessories, for use in the support of lighting equipment having ratings of 1000 V and less and intended to be installed in the commercial and industrial nonhazardous locations in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.
This Standard includes the electrical features of poles as well as to the mechanical strength aspects and the ability to support their design loads. The poles may also serve as supports for aerial conductors, photovoltaic (PV) modules, wind turbines used to supply the lighting equipment, smart city communication, and data transmission devices, and, in the case of concrete or metal poles, provide wireways for conductors entering the poles. This Standard does not apply to the erection of poles or the installation of accessories on site.
Notes:
for electrical safety only and be marked NOT EVALUATED FOR STRUCTURAL STRENGTH/N'A PAS ÉTÉ ÉVALUÉ QUANT À LA RÉSISTANCE STRUCTURALE.
In this Standard, "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 (non-mandatory) to define their application.
The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.
