CAN/CSA-E60335-2-45 (adopted IEC 335-2-45:1996) was published in 2001 but subsequently withdrawn. This edition replaces CSA C22.2 No. 122-M1989, <em>Hand-Held Electrically Heated Tools</em>.

This Standard has been approved as a National Standard of Canada by the Standards Council of Canada. <br><u>Interpretations:</u> The Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety has provided the following direction for the interpretation of standards under its jurisdiction: "The literal text shall be used in judging compliance of products with the safety requirements of this Standard.
