 Guide to the CE Code
This issue features another installment of Bill Burr's code series, looking at Section 62, which covers fixed electrical heating systems. Also on the code, the 2021 version of the Ontario Electrical Code is now in effect, and Alberta released a new STANDATA for submersible pumps. Registration is now open for NETCO's annual Energize and Educate conference taking place at the end of the month. There have been two recalls recently: 12/2 NMD90 75M Romex SIMpull Cable was recalled because of improper labeling, the neutral wire is 14-gauge but is labelled as 12-gauge. Additionally, a Celebright lighting system was recalled due to lack of Canadian certification. |

In addition, standards development organizations have not developed a certification standard for these products, consequently, certified ESP’s and cables are not available. Read More |
