October 4, 2012 - Electrical Business has assembled some of the top minds in the industry to present its inaugural Partners in Training: “Electrical Maintenance & Reliability Forum”, being held at the Country Heritage Park in Milton, Ont., October 23, 2012. DON’T FORGET! The Early Bird Deadline is October 12.

September 25, 2012 - EBMag has learned that the public review period for the new standard Z463, “Industrial and Commercial Electrical System Maintenance”, opened September 10, and closes November 10, 2012.

April 9, 2012 - On March 6 and 7, the 4th CSA Z463 Technical Committee meeting was held at CSA’s offices in Toronto. “This meeting marked a milestone in our progress,” writes the committee, “and was well attended by over 30 active participants from across Canada”. Revision 7 of the document will be issued shortly after the meeting to the drafting group with an anticipated Revision 8 to be issued by this same drafting group May 15.

November 22, 2011 - On October 27 and 28, the third CSA Z463 “Guideline on Maintenance of Electrical Systems” committee meeting was held in Saskatoon, Sask. An early milestone was achieved, reports the committee, in that a preliminary draft was completed just prior to the start of the meeting.

“It is clear that much work is necessary, regardless of early progress,” reports the committee in its November 2011 newsletter. “Some sections are well along in development and some are still requiring a lot of work.”
