KNIGHT’S CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE Part One

24th Code Edition, 2018 – 2021

For professional engineers, inspectors, and electricians — The Canadian Electrical Code is the body of electrical law in Canada. The Code is passed into law both Federally and in every provincial and territorial jurisdiction in Canada. Persons working in electrical and related fields are obligated to comply with Code regulations.



Knight’s Canadian Electrical Code contains the full Code, plus minor annotations to highlight changes from previous Code editions. As an authorized reprinting of electrical law, all illustrations, explanations and descriptions therein are presented entirely and exactly as enacted by Governments.

The Supreme Court of Canada has Ruled that domestic law, including electrical law, is privately owned. We are working to legislatively correct the situation. Until then, the unabridged text of electrical law is restricted.
