This East African Standard gives guidance on the design, specification, installation and commissioning of incineration plant for the destruction of hospital waste. It also gives information on training of staff and maintenance of plant, on collection and transports of hospital waste.
This part of this East African Standard specifies requirements for 13 A fused plugs having insulating sleeves on line and neutral pins, for household, commercial and light industrial purposes, with particular reference to safety in normal use. The plugs are suitable for the connection of portable appliances; sound-vision equipment, luminaries, etc in ac circuits only, operating at voltages not exceeding 250 V r.m.s. at 50 Hz. using plugs in accordance with EAS 495-1. Requirements are specified for 13 A shuttered socket-outlets in single or multiple arrangements with or without associated controlling switches, for flush mounting in suitable boxes, e.g. complying with EAS 203, or for surface or panel mounting or for portable use. Fixed socket-outlets are intended for use with cables complying with IEC 60227 having copper conductors. Portable socket-outlets are intended for use with flexible cords, complying with EAS 117-1. Socket- outlets containing devices other than fuse links, switches and indicator lamps are outside the scope of this part of EAS 495.
This part of EAS 495 specifies requirements for adaptors having insulating sleeves on the line and neutral plug pins and suitable for use with socket-outlets complying with EAS 495-2, with particular reference to safety in normal use. Adaptors specified in this part of EAS 495 are intended for household, commercial and light industrial purposes. The adaptors are suitable for the connection of portable appliances, sound-vision equipment, luminaires, etc., in a.c. circuits only, operating at voltages not exceeding 250 V r.m.s. at 50 Hz. Assemblies comprising a plug and one or more portable socket- outlets connected together by a flexible cord or cable are not considered to be adaptors according to this part of EAS 495. Devices incorporating switches, transformers, timers, thermostats or other control means are outside the scope of this part of EAS 495.
This part of EAS 495 specifies requirements for 13 A fused fixed connection units for household, commercial and light industrial purposes, with particular reference to safety in normal use. The connection units are suitable for the connection of appliances, in a.c. circuits only, operating at voltages not exceeding 250 V r.m.s at 50 Hz. Requirements are specified for connection units incorporating a fuse-link complying with EAS 496. Requirements are specified for 13 A connection units with or without associated controlling switches, for flush mounting in suitable enclosures, e.g. boxes complying with EAS 203, or for surface or panel mounting. Connection units are intended for use with cables complying with IEC 60227 having copper conductors. Connection units with card outlets are additionally intended for use with flexible cords, complying with EAS 117-1 on the load (output) side. Connection units containing devices other than fuse-links, switches and indicator lamps are outside the scope of this standard.
This East African Standard specifies dimensions and performance requirements for general purpose cartridge fuse links of current ratings not exceeding13 A for domestic and similar purposes (primarily for use in plugs complying with the requirements of EAS 495) on declared supply voltages not exceeding 250 V (see 4.5) at a nominal frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. It does not cover fuse bases or fuse holders for use with these fuse links.
This part of EAS 811 specifies the terms and definitions, symbols and methods of earthing of electrical supply, communication facilities and associated equipment. It applies to all new and existing installations and extensions. This standard does not cover the earthed return of electric railways nor those lightning protection wires that are normally independent of supply or communication wires or equipment.
This part of EAS 811 specifies the safety requirements for installations, operations and maintenance of electric supply stations. It also provides safety guidelines to personnel involved in electric supply stations and their associated structural arrangements that are accessible only to qualified personnel.
This part of EAS 811 specifies safety requirements for installation and maintenance of overhead electric supply and communication lines and their associated equipment. It prescribes the associated structural arrangements of such systems and the extension of such systems into buildings. It includes requirements for spacing, clearances, and strength of construction. This part of EAS 811 does not apply to installations in electric supply stations except as required by 8.3.3 of EAS 811-1.
This part of EAS 811 specifies safety requirements for the installation and maintenance of underground electric supply and communication lines. It prescribes the associated structural arrangements and the extension of such systems into buildings. It also covers the cables and equipment employed primarily for the utilization of electric power when such cables and equipment are used by the utility in the exercise of its function as a utility. This part does not apply for installations in electric supply stations.
This part of EAS 811 specifies the practical work requirements to be followed during installation, operation and maintenance of electric supply and communications lines and equipment as a means of safeguarding employees and the public from injury.
This East African standard covers the energy efficiency and functional performance requirements, sampling and test methods for general service lamps and tubular lamps.
This East African standard covers the energy efficiency and functional performance requirements, sampling and test methods for luminaires namely indoor ambient luminaires and outdoor / streetlight luminaires.
