Canadian
Code: CE Code: Appendix B

Stoch
Canadian Electrical Code users have no doubt noticed the reminder (see Appendix B) next to the headings of many code rules. Appendix B is there to help us understand and correctly interpret the requirements of the code. It provides supplementary information including explanations, interpretations, other standards and sources of information to assist users in applying the rules so identified. It also gives us a better idea of what an inspector will expect. It’s a very good idea, in particular when applying a rule for the first time, to take a look at what Appendix B has to say.

are sent in from authorized government inspectors and we believe will
have interest for many inspectors.
