PREFACE This is the first edition of one of a series of Standards covering minimum requirements for safe operation, acceptable performance, design, construction, manufacture, marking, and testing of oil burning equipment. Xothing in these requirements is t o be considered in any way as indicating a measure of quality beyond compliance with the provisions they contain.

Safe and satisfactory operation of oil burning equipment depends t o a great extent upon its proper installation. To assure satisfactory and safe operation, equipment complying with the requirements of this Standard should be installed in accordance with the latest issue of CS-4 Standard B 139, Installation Code for Oil Burning Equipment. Appendices and footnotes appearing in CSA Standards are not considered part of the requirements of the Standards but are included to facilitate their use.

This Standard was prepared by the Committee on OiI Burning Equipment under the jurisdiction of the Sectional Committee on Oil Burning Equipment and was formally approved by these Committees and the CSA Technical Council.

OTTAWA, MARCH,1966

NOTE: In order to keep abreust of progress in the industries concerned, CSA fiubiications are subjed to periodic review. Su gestians for improvement will be welcomed ut all times.

Association Activities The Canadian Standards Association is a not-for-profit, independent, private sector organization that serves the public, governments, and business as a forum for national consensus in the development of standards, and offers them certification, testing, and related services. It is a membership Association open to any individual, company, or organization interested in standards activities. The more than 1000 standards published by CSA are written, reviewed, and revised by over 7000 committee members, who represent users, producers, and regulatory authorities in all regions of Canada. In addition to these volunteers, some 2000 representatives from industry, labour, governments, and the public participate in the work of the Association through sustaining memberships. Approximately one-third of CSA’s standards have been referenced into law by provincial and federal authorities. Activities in the standards field cover a number of program areas: lifestyles and the environment, e Iec t rica I /e Iect ronics, con st r uctio n, en ergy, t ra ns po rtat io n/d ist ri b ution, m ate ria Is tech no Iogy, business/production management systems, comrnunications/information technology, and welding.
