Founded in 1918, A.G.A. ed to fulfill the collective needs of the gas thereby, improve the industry's ability to . It acts as a clearinghouse on gas lyst in technical and a spokesperson for the Unéer the standards development system of ANSI, A.G.A. has served as the secretariat of Accredited ‘Standards Committees sines 1930. This encompassee four Accredited Standards Committees, 221, 283, 2223 and B109 committees. The 221 Committee, established in 1930, develops standa: equipment and s Committee, estal commercial and industrial gas equipment; the 2223, Committee, established in 1972, has jurisdiction over the Natonal Fuel Gas Code, a standard covering the installation of gas piping and gas utilization equipment on consamer’s premises; and the B109 Committee, established in 1967, develops standards for ges metering. The Committees operate under procedures approved by ANSI, which are designed to insure maximam partic nput and fairness in voluntary standards making. Memberships encompass representatives classified as gas suppliers, gas appliance and accessory manufacturers, consumer or uuser, general interest and individuals such that no one classification is to be in the majority. Although A.G.A. has accepted the role as secretariat of the above committees and provides administrative and technical services for the standards development programs, this effort is completely divorced from other Association activities, and the actions of these committees are independent of bath ANSI and A.G.A., including the writing of the standards themselves. CANADIAN GAS ASSOCIATION ‘The Canadian Ges Association (CGA), which represents all segments of the gas industry in Cana has been accredited by the Standards Co: Canada to prepare National Standards of Cai the area of equipment for use with natural propane. CGA, founded in 1907, represents distributors, ion companies, produce! transmi cont organi: inspection and certification program in the mid 1: ata time when natural gas was being extended to Eastern Canada and the West Coast. The Standards program now embraces more than 90 standards for gas appliances and accessories. pipeline Committees that write the standards include spresentation from all i ‘no one interest may dominate. The interests esented include consumers, manufacturers, inspection authorities and using the consensus differing opinions. Government inspection authorities having jurisdiction also ballot on the standards as members of the Interprovincial Gas Advisory Couneil (IGAC). ‘The CGA Standards Advisory Committee reviews committee structures and procedu determiae that the standards meets the criteria of the Standards Council of Canada. ‘This Standard has been accepted by the Standards Commitee, IGAC and SAC. ‘This Standard is intended to be used within the scope of the standard by the manufacturing sector, by those applying the equipment, or those responsible for its proper application. It is the responsibility of the user to determine in each case that the Standard is suitable for the specific application. The Standards Committee and IGAC normally stipulate an effective date for the Standard, delayed sufficiently to permit suppliers to make adjustments. CGA Approvals, Incorporated 1993, operates a for fuel-fired products which is ection authorities and accredited by the Standards Council of Canada. In addition, through the Canadian Gas Research Institute (CGRI), the gas industry is pursuing the improvement of equipment and the development of new products. Data from these projects is available to Standards Commitiees for review and consideration. Recemmendations for new standards and revi to existing standards may come from any source. These suggestions should be addressed to the Standards Department of CGA Approvals, AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE ‘The American National Staadards Institute (ANSD, Inc. is the nationally recognized coordinator of voluntary standards development in the United States through which voluntary organizations, representing virtually every technical discipline and every facet of trade and commerce, organized labor and consumer interests, establish and improve the some 8500 national consensus standards currently approved as American National Standards. ANSI provides that the interests of the public may have appropriate participation and representation in standardization activity, and cooperates with departments and agencina of U.S. Federal, state and local governments in achieving compatibility between government codes and standards and the voluntary standards of industry and commeree ANSI represents the interests of the United States a {ISO} International Electrotechnieal Commission ‘The Institute maintains close ties with regional organizations such as the Pacific Area Standards COPANT). As such, AN’ activities involved in the U.S. participation in these groups. ANSI approval of standards is intended to verify that the principles of openness and due process have been followed in the approval procedure and that a consensus of those directly and materially affected by the standards bas been achieved. ANSI coordination is intended to assist the voluntary system to ensure that national standards needs are identified and met with set of standards that are without confit or unneces- sary duplication in their requirements. ‘Responsibility of approving American National Standards rests with the American National Standards Institute, Inc. PREFACE if completely eliminated, would defeat the utili ie appliance. The provisions in this standard are intended to reduce such risks while retaining the normal operation of the appliance. Nothing in this standard is to be considered in any way as indicating a measure of quality beyond compliance with the provisions it contains. It is designed to allow compliance of type 1 gas clothes dryers, the construction and performance of which may exceed the various provisions specified herein, In its preparation, full recognition hax been given to pacsihiliting of improvement through ingenuity of design. As progress takes place, revisions may become necessary. When they are believed desirable, recommendations should be forwarded to the Chairman of Accredited Standards Committee Z21, 8501 East Steering Committee on Gas Burning Appliances and Related Accessories, 55 Scarsdale Road, Don Mills, Ontario, Canada, M3B 2R3. that the devices, products and activitie 8 scope may be subject to regulation at the Federal, ‘Territorial, Provincial, state or local level strongly urged to investigate this possibility through appropriate channels. In the event of a conflict with this standard, the Federal, Territorial, Provincial, state or local regulation should be followed. CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute, Ine, require that action be taken to reaffirm, revise or withdraw this standard no later than five (6) years from the date of approval. Purchasers of american Notional Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute, Inc, 11 West 42nd Street, New York, N.Y. 10033, (212) 642-1900. EFFECTIVE DATE: An organization using this standard for product evaluation as a part of its certification program will normally establish the date by which all products certified by that organization should comply with this standard. In Canada the Standards Committee and the Interprovincial Gas Advisory Council normally stipulate an effective date for the standard, delayed sufficiently to permit suppliers (manufacturers) to make adjustments. HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF STANDARD. FOR GAS CLOTHES DRYERS VOLUME I, TYPE 1 (This History is informative and is not patt of the standard) With the onset of the Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Canada on January 2, 1988, significant attention was given to the of the United States and Canadian addressing for residential, commere! applications. It was believed of the differences between the standards would remove potential trade barriers and provide an atmosphere in which North American muuufwcs turers could market more freely in the United States and Canada. The harmonization of these standards was also seen as a step toward harmonization with international standards. Under an agreement between the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) and International Approval Services (IAS), Canada Operations, a draft harmonized standard for Type | gas clothes dryers was prepared by AS-Canada staff. On December 6, 1992 the 221/CGA Joint Clothes Dryers Subcommittee Feviewed the 6rst draft harmonized Type 1 gas clothes dryer standard based on current coverage from the American National Standard for Gas Clothes Dryers Volume I, Type 1 Clothes Dryers, ANSI 221.5.1-1992, and National Standard of Canada for Domestic Gas Clothes Dryers, CANI- 7-MB5. At its December 1992 meeting, the Z2UCGA Joint Clothes Dryer Subcommittee considered and modified the proposed harmonized draft and agreed to distribute it for industry review during August 1993, ith the formation of joint subcommittees, Related Accessories was established to parallel Accredited Standards Committees Z21 and Z8: and to support the formation of j subcommittees. Operating procedure: accordance with American National Standards Institute procedures, for joint subcommittees were developed and subsequently approved by ANSI on April 1, 1993. Following reconsideration and modification of the proposed draft standard for ‘Type 1 gas clothes dryers, in light of comments received, the joint clothes dryers subcommittee, at its October 6, 1963 meeting, recommended the proposed draft to the 221 Committee and the CGA Standards Steering ‘Committee for approval. ‘The proposed draft of the harmonized standard for Type 1 gas clothes dryers, as modified by the joint subcommittee, was approved by the Z21 Committee by letter ballot dated December 22, 1993, and by the CGA Standards Steering Committee on April 29, 1994. ‘The first edition of the harmonized Z21/CGA Standard for Gas Clothes Dryers Volume I Type 1 Clothes dryers was approved by the CGA Standards Advisory Committee and the Canadian Interprovincial Gas Advisory Council in February, 1995 and by the American National Standards Institute, Ine, on April 6, 1995. ‘The following identifies the designation and year of the harmonized standard: ANSI 2215.1 + CGA 7.1-M95 INTERPROVINCIAL GAS ADVISORY COUNCIL, (November, 1994) M.G.
