Preface

This is the first edition of CSA C22.2 No. 250.4, Portable luminaires, one of a series of Standards issued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code. It supersedes CSA C22.2 No 12, published in 1982. This Standard also replaces the following Technical Information Letters (TILs), for products covered in this Standard: TIL No. B-31C, Temporary Lighting Strings, TIL No.B-60, Interim Certification Requirements for Polymeric Enclosure Materials for Portable Luminaires, and TIL No. B-67, Interim Certification Requirements for Extension Handlamps.

This Standard contains specific requirements for portable luminaires and is intended to be used together with the requirements for luminaires contained in CSA C22.2 No. 250.0.
