Impactful Policy Frameworks
CSA C22.1:21 Canadian Electrical Code, Part I (2021)
This code sets the standards for electrical installations in Canada, including requirements for surge protective devices (SPDs) in various applications.
It mandates the inclusion of specific SPD requirements, driving demand for compliant products and expert design services for R3&A Limited.
NFPA 780: Standard for the Installation of Lightning Protection Systems (2023 Edition)
While not Canadian-specific, NFPA 780 is widely referenced and impacts best practices for lightning protection system design and installation across North America.
Adherence to these widely recognized standards is crucial for R3&A Limited's design assistance and credibility, especially when working with clients that have U.S. operations or international projects.
IEC 62305: Protection Against Lightning (All Parts, most recent editions)
These international standards provide a comprehensive framework for lightning protection, including risk assessment, external and internal protection measures.
R3&A Limited's reliance on IEC standards for design (LPZ concept) means updates directly influence their methodology and product recommendations, ensuring their solutions are globally aligned and robust.
