The Canadian Electrical Code and Standardization
Standardization is important, here is an excerpt from the above article…
“Standards development is extremely important and recognizing those standards that have been in use for decades to certify equipment now allows the electrical industry to fully understand the scope of what goes into certified equipment. The process of standards development is intended to deliver standards that will:
• Advance the national economy;
• Support sustainable development;
• Benefit the health, safety and welfare of workers and the public;
• Assist and protect consumers;
• Facilitate domestic and international trade; and
• Further international cooperation in relation to standardization”
