CSA Notes:
1) Use
of the singular does not exclude the plural (and vice versa) when the sense allows.
2) Although
the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its Scope, it is important
to

e that it remains the responsibility of the users of the Standard to judge its suitability for
their
particular
purpose.
3) This
publication was developed by consensus, which is defined by CSA Policy
governing
st
andardization — Code of good practice for standardization as “substantial agreement.
Consensus
implies
much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity”. It is consistent with
this
definition

phrased where possible to permit a specific “yes” or “no” answer.
