These terms should not be confused with the IEC terms “switchgear” and “controlgear” used within the context of the CSA C22.2 No. 60947 series of standards which cover individual or combinations of individual low-voltage switching devices intended for the control, measurement, or regulation of energy-consuming equipment

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.
