Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)

The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) is a set of rules and standards that ensure electrical systems in buildings are safe, reliable, and efficient. It governs how electrical wiring, equipment, and installations are designed, installed, and maintained across Canada. The CEC aims to prevent electrical hazards such as fires, shocks, and equipment failure by establishing guidelines for proper electrical practices. It is regularly updated by experts to reflect technological advances and safety improvements, and is enforced by local authorities to protect both people and property from electrical risks.
