Project Need
This is un update for trinational harmonized standard NMX-J-307/1-ANCE /CSA C22.2 No. 250.0:21/UL 1598, to include latest proposal. This proposed amendment is being developed at the request of Industry and Certification Bodies. It will provide the industry with aligned Canadian requirements with those of other countries in the region and simplification of luminaire marking requirements.
