Rick,
Are you talking strictly about power cordage or internal hookup wire?
We had a CSA inspector reject one of our products because the internal PE
Conductor (hookup wire) was a smaller gauge (18awg) than what was on the power
cord (16awg). He said in Canada, the PE Conductor inside our

We manufacture a product that is intended for both the US and Canadian markets
in addition to the European community. Our wiring is currently UL/CSA and
harmonized. Looking at the various wire vendors there are UL/CSA CE
certifications and certifications that are UL/CSA, CE and Harmonized.
This is what we are seeing going on in Europe.
Ever since that Mushroom Farm was fined for the injured employee, some
companies in Europe are afraid of a similar fate. Laboratory Equipment used in
a laboratory environment traditionally has work related risks not associated
with other job

Grounding Conductor size
An interesting question with respect to internal grounding conductors, and
one which made me refer to a very old copy of CSA Technical Note TN-017
Bonding and Grounding of Electrical Equipment (Protective Grounding),
dated January 13, 1993, which I have -
CSA-C22.2 No 0.4 (Bonding of Electrical Equipment) has this
3.4.3.2
The fault capacity of a bond shall be adequate if the bond complies with one of
the following
requirements:
(a) the bond is made from a suitably terminated conductor not smaller than the
specified minimum size

It will be important to check the extent to which you have, or have not,
incorporated all the components and materials which are normally required to
be CSA Accepted/UL Recognized because, if you have not, then you could face
very high initial component approval, and then on-going follow-up
Hello Ed,
I have done a product to the Toy Directive and I have experience with the EN 71
series standards. The items you mention would fall under EN 71-1 which covers
the physical properties of toys. In particular, the elastic cords would need to
comply with section 5.4 “Cords, chains and

Grounding Conductors - what you have identified in C22.2 No 0.4 seems to
largely confirm and expand on what I surmised from TN-017 and the related
references.

I was at a symposium recently where hundreds of (strictly non-electrical or
otherwise powered) puzzles and games were being rated (for aesthetics such
as age level, fun and intellectual challenge). However, nobody at this event
gave any consideration to the familiar regulatory compliance issues
