All, This is pretty interesting, since CBSA (Canadian Border Services Agency, formerly Customs), does not have the authority to inspect for regulatory compliance. If this is true, the CBSA Agents were acting well outside their authority.
Only the AHJ, in this case Hydro Québec, has the authority to enforce regulatory compliance for this equipment. -- Doug Nix, A.Sc.T. 2012 Chapter Chair IEEE Engineering & Human Environment Joint Chapter Toronto Section, Ontario, Canada http://ewh.ieee.org/r7/toronto/chapters/humanenv.htm d...@ieee.org mobile (519) 729-5704 home (519) 650-5979 fax (519) 653-1318 Find me LinkedIn at http://www.linkedin.com/in/dougnix Want to meet? http://tungle.me/dougnix Fostering Technological Innovation and Excellence for the Benefit of Humanity.
