Canadian Codes & Standards Updates
Canadian Codes & Standards • Agenda: – Which ones do we need to know? – What are the latest versions – What’s changed in the latest versions? – What did you miss?
Standards Reference Updates • Only constant is change
Which Ones Do We Need to Know? • Legally g y mandatoryy ones relevant to information transport • Ad Hoc ones relevant to information transport • Non-mandatory ones required by or beneficial to our clients
