Electrical Code Ontario Pdf
Since each province has individual governance on many matters, the interpretation and enforcement of the Canadian Electrical Code varies among them. When performing electrical work in any given location, in addition to consulting the Canadian Electrical Code as published and sold by the CSA group, consulting bulletins and interpretations published by individual provinces is good practice. For instance, as of 2014, Prince Edward Island's Legislative Counsel Office has a posted PDF of a consolidated version of the Canadian Electrical Code current to August 1, 2013 with the disclaimer that it is not the official version of the code.
Saskatchewan has a document of interpretations of the 2012 Canadian Electrical Code posted for inspectors at SaskPower. The Ontario Electrical Safety Authority provides amendments, but not the full code, for free. Alberta, like Saskatchewan, Ontario and Prince Edward's Island, posts bulletins that contain clarifications, variances and interpretation of the Canadian Electrical Code. Newfoundland has also put out safety bulletins relevant to the Canadian Electrical Code.
Jan 10th, 2015 1:18 pmIt is, however, incomplete and there are a lot of things the book does not cover that are good to know. I don't 100% disagree with you Drew but for the average homeowner the P.S. Knight books are a great place to start.
Was wondering if anyone had a clue if this is posted online anywhere? I dont have money to buy this book along with Instrumentation Fifth Edition. I bought the book for 200 $ which I need for school, but it would also be nice to have it as a pdf so I can just search key words for homework. If anyone has a PDF of.
For a newbie to try and sift through the 600+ page code book written in legalese would be a daunting task. At least the Simplified books have taken just the rules that apply to residential and left out the rest of the stuff that make up most of the code book. There's even a code handbook put out by the CSA that's over 700 pages to try and explain the code book better and you still have tradesmen and inspectors arguing over the intent and application of certain rules. The electricians c of q test is an open code book test and it still has about a 35% failure rate.
Of course if anyone really wants a pdf copy of the code the ESA would be happy to sell them one for the princely sum of $195 or $350 with 3 year downloadable updates. The handbook is $130 from the CSA website.
Yep, that shows what BS it is. It's just a way to extort cash. If the ESA was truly about safety as their name suggests, the electrical code would be freely available online in its entirety, to ensure everyone has the knowledge to safely do electrical work, as they are legally entitled to as homeowners.
Yet, they charge absurd amounts to view it, probably in the interest of electrical unions - no homeowner is going to pay that much when they can just hire an electrician to do a one hour job for less. I fully understand and support charging for a printed copy of the code.
That costs money to develop, produce, package, etc. But if it was truly about safety, they'd post a PDF freely online, as it costs them nothing to do so. You shouldn't have to buy an aftermarket product because it's easier than the official way.
It should be the other way around, the full law (which it essentially is) should be free to all, and if you want to pay for a 'for dummies' version that summarizes it, then you pay for that convenience.

You probably also believe CDs and DVDs should only cost a dollar, since manufacturing couldn't cost much more than that right? Who pays for the thousands of hours that went into developing the code book? Electricity, more than anything is best left to those who can properly do it, or the pros.
If you're not resourceful enough to find a way to get an exerpt from the code book for free, or otherwise find out what's allowable (inspectors will usually tell you/give you what you need), you probably shouldn't be dabbling in electricity. Electricians make good money doing small menial tasks such as wiring a new switch, etc. The code book is meant for them. A relatively small job can easily pay for the code book. Having said that, I wish it would be cheaper/available for anyone to get, but I absolutely understand charging for the information contained in it.
I'm not saying electricians should never be used, they provide a great service and are often required. I'm saying if their sole interest is SAFETY, as they suggest, they would want everyone to be as informed as possible, and not put up barriers to that knowledge. Whether someone should be 'dabbling' or not is besides the point - that is what permits and inspections are for. I'd say it's far more dangerous for someone to dabble without knowing anything of what the rules and standards are, no? Could you imagine if you had to pay hundreds of dollars to read the laws of our country?
After all, a ton of effort went into writing those. And who outside of lawyers really needs to read them, right? Why would anyone possibly need to know every tiny nuance of the law about driving on our highways? Surely the driver's handbook summary for $20 will suffice. Otherwise, hire a lawyer!
The electrical safety code is law in Ontario. Why is this law hidden behind a pay wall, while every other one is free and open?

Why is this law hidden behind a pay wall, while every other one is free and open? I don't completely disagree with you. However, I also think a person who has a little bit of knowledge is far more dangerous than someone who is clueless. If you have no idea about electrical safety or code, odds are you won't even attempt any electrical work.

Someone who downloads a code book and becomes a self-appointed pro COULD be far more dangerous.
