Standards and Regulations

As an engineer, anything that is made and placed on the market is subject to a set of rules and standards. By law, all electrical equipment in Canada must meet CSA Electrical Standards. These rules are closely followed by UBC as we are a public Canadian institution and all our equipment must be CSA certified. Below are links to where to find the information regarding CSA approval.
