C22.10-18 - Québec Construction Code, Chapter V - Electricity, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I (Twenty-third edition) with Québec Amendments
Preface
This twenty-third edition of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, was approved by the Committee on the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, and by the Regulatory Authority Committee at their June 2014 meetings in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. This twenty-third edition supersedes the previous editions, published in 2012, 2009, 2006, 2002, 1998, 1994, 1990, 1986, 1982, 1978, 1975, 1972, 1969, 1966, 1962, 1958, 1953, 1947, 1939, 1935, 1930, and 1927.
This edition features important revisions to many Sections. Section 4 now contains requirements for high-voltage cable ampacities and clarified Rules for conductor termination temperature. In addition, a new table (Table 39) simplifies residential service and feeder conductor selection. More options are provided for load and voltage drop calculations.
Bonding conductor selection has been clarified through the addition of the new Tables 16A and 16B. In addition, Section 12 contains many new and revised requirements for wiring methods, and the conduit fill tables have been expanded.
Section 18 has undergone major revisions. Requirements for Class II and Class III locations have been relocated to Appendix J, and requirements for explosive dust atmospheres based on IEC Zone 20, Zone 21, and Zone 22 have been added to Section 18.
Other revisions in this edition include the following:
• requirements for arc-fault protection have been expanded and clarified;
• Section 50 has been merged with Section 64;
• Section 62 has been completely rewritten; and
• the term injury has been replaced with damage throughout the Code.
Many of the changes in this edition were developed by cross-functional working groups. Their work is gratefully acknowledged.

Introduction to the Canadian electrical code handbook
The 2015 Canadian Electrical Code Handbook provides background information on the rationale behind the requirements in the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, and gives an explanation of the rules in plain, easy-to-understand language. The 2015 CE Code Handbook has been updated to incorporate the changes to the 2015 CE Code, and continues to be a key component of the Canadian electrical safety system.
The Handbook provides a clear understanding of the safety and installation requirements of the CE Code related to industrial, commercial and residential installations. Following the navigational structure of the Code, the CE Handbook helps you quickly find pertinent information and outlines detailed scenarios to help avoid misinterpretations. The CE Code Handbook contains examples, calculations and graphics to help you implement the Code.
Developed by technical experts selected for their detailed knowledge and understanding of the CE Code and extensive experience in putting Code principles into practice.
