CSA C22.1HB-09

This Handbook provides background information and commentary in plain, easy-to-understand language on the Rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.

The Handbook is intended to provide a clearer understanding of the safety requirements of the Code.

This Handbook does not form a code of mandatory requirements and must not be used in place of the CE Code itself.

This is the fifth edition of the CE Code Handbook, and the following important changes have been made since the previous edition was published:

– The material divided into rationale and intent in the previous edition has been combined to provide a clearer and more concise commentary on the CE Code.

– Additional figures, examples, and calculations have been included.

– Each section has been revised and reformatted in a simple, user-friendly layout

– To make the Handbook more compact, the text of the CE Code has been removed.

The Handbook is now available in a single volume (approximately 500 pages).
