Whether you’re a contractor, installer, designer or manufacturer, it’s your responsibility to ensure that you follow the most up-to-date safe electrical installation requirements. The 2012 Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, builds on an 80-year legacy as a key component of the Canadian electrical safety system.

The 22nd edition of the CE Code contains over 180 updates and revisions – the most comprehensive set of changes ever. New and extensively updated sections apply to emerging technology, renewable energy sources including solar & wind, new requirements for electric vehicles, and more.

Why You Need to Buy the 2012 CE Code:

• Ensure that your company and employees are in full compliance with local jurisdictions
• Minimize costly reworks due to use of out-of-date or incorrect installation practices
• Enhance your competitive advantage by understanding impacts of key emerging technologies

In addition to ensuring your company and its workers are following the most up-to-date electrical installation requirements to help reduce risk and improve safety, the extensive updates and revisions to the 2012 Canadian Electrical Code can also positively benefit your specific business, regardless of industry.
