At Carelabs, we prioritize safety and compliance in all factors of our work, along with arc flash examination and analysis. We adhere strictly to the following seven primary electric requirements in both the United States and Canada to ensure the highest degree of protection and nice in our offerings:
NEC – published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), codifies standards for safe electrical installation and practices in the United States. To ensure our arc flash study work meets or surpasses safety requirements for electrical systems, Carelabs strictly adheres to NEC guidance.
CEC – Canadian Electrical Code: It is a standard that was developed by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) for the installation and maintenance of electrical systems safely in Canada. Carelabs always abides by CEC regulations to support power safety standards among our clients all over Canada.
NESC – National Electrical Safety Code: It is published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in the U.S. The NESC provides guidelines for the safe installation and maintenance of electric supply and communication lines. Carelabs incorporates NESC standards into our arc flash study and analysis to safeguard electrical infrastructure.
ESA – Electrical Safety Authority: ESA develops and enforces electrical safety regulations in Ontario. For this reason, Carelabs follows closely the ESA guidelines arguing that we uphold electrical safety standards, rules, codes, etc., applicable to our clients within Ontario province including others beyond its borders where we operate.
Standards by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) – IEEE has published many standards about electrical and electronic technologies including power systems, electrical equipment, and industrial automation. Carelabs complies with the IEEE standards in their arc flash studies to ensure that the electrical systems are reliable and safe.
Regulations by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) – OSHA enforces workplace safety standards in the US which include regulations on electrical safety. To address electrical hazards for workers while at the same time creating a safe working environment, Carelabs must comply fully with OSHA regulations.
By adhering to those seven principal electric standards, Carelabs ensures that our arc flash studies and analyses meet the very best safety and high-quality requirements. Our commitment to compliance and protection enables us to offer reliable and complete solutions to our clients, protecting personnel and property from the dangers associated with electric dangers.
