Standards

This standard applies to electric cooking and heating appliances and to electric ,motor-operated or magnetically-driven appliances for household and similar purposes, including office machines.

This standard specifies attachment fused and unfused plugs (caps), shuttered receptacles (sockets) for flush surface mounting. These plugs and sockets are suitable for alternating current circuits only of voltages not exceeding 250 volts and currents not exceeding 15 amperes.  The plugs and receptacles covered by this standard are intended for use in making readily detachable electrical connections in non-hazardous locations between supply circuits and portable lamps, appliances and similar equipment.

This standard specifies requirements for two grades of unleaded gasoline in Guyana for use in motor vehicles with spark-ignition internal combustion engines. It also specifies a method for determining adulteration of premium gasoline with regular gasoline.

The standards and requirements in this document are the pre-requisite conditions for the issuance of a Technical Acceptance certificate (TAC) for television broadcasting transmitters.

This standards covers thermoplastic and rubber tapes for use as electrical insulation at not more than 600 V and at 80C (176 F) and lower temperatures on joints and splices in wires and cables in accordance with the National Electrical Code. It is intended that rubber tape on a joint or splice be mechanically protected by a covering such as friction tape . Thermoplastic tape is acceptable without the additional mechanical protection.

This standard specifies requirements and dimensions for PVC insulated cables for operation at nominal voltages up to and including 1900 V to armour or earth and 3300 V between conductors.

BESP 100, Issue 1, November 1, 1996. This procedure describes the process for obtaining a Technical Acceptance Certificate (TAC) for Broadcasting Equipment.

These requirements cover ballasts of the resistance, reactance, and electronic (solid state) types for use with fluorescent lamps involving a potential of 2500 volts or less in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NEPA 70. A fluorescent lamp ballast may be determined by investigation to be acceptable for use, in a fixture or other device, with electric-discharge lamps of other than the fluorescent type. A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those in use when the standard was developed, and that involves a risk of fire, electric shocks, or injury to persons shall be evaluated using the appropriate additional component and end-product requirements as determined necessary to maintain the level of safety for the user of the product as originally; anticipated by the intent of this standard.

These requirements cover temporary-use, seasonal decorative-lighting products and accessories with a maximum input voltage rating of 120 V to be used in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Temporary-use is considered to be a period of installation and use not exceeding 90 days. 1.2 These requirements cover factory-assembled seasonal lighting strings with push-in, midget-screw, or miniature-screw lampholders connected in series for across-the-line use or with candelabra- or intermediate-screw lampholders connected in parallel for direct-connection use. These requirements also cover factory-assembled seasonal decorative outfits such as wreaths, stars, light sculptures, crosses, candles or candle sets without lamp shades, products in the shape of, or in resemblance to, Christmas trees with simulated branches and needles, products in the shape of, or in resemblance to, wreaths provided with simulated branches and needles, blow-molded figures or objects, animated figures, tree tops, controllers, tree stands, electric tree poles, and motorized decorative displays. These requirements cover products which are portable and not permanently connected to a power source.
