I encourage you to ensure that you do understand the different as the CSA Z462-15 and NFPA 70E-15 will make a distinct difference.
For arc flash and shock the analysis processes will be called arc flash risk assessment and shock risk assessment.
Although this quote from Terry Becker was originally posted in the News section I felt that it more properly belonged here.
There are only two key differences between CSA Z462-2012 and NFPA 70E-2012. The first difference is that formatting rules for the two organizations are different and thus the section numbering isdifferent. The wording in the body of the standards however is word-for-word identical. The second difference is that the mixture of annexes is different. I forgot the exact list but suffice to say that CSA Z462-2012 has a few more. Where the annexes are the same between the two standards, again the wording is word-for-word identical.
However the above quote seems to suggest that the two standards are no longer going to be coordinated quite so closely. My current employer is dual headquartered both in the States and Canada and thus these differences are very important to me. What are going to be the differences in 2015?
