Hi Doug,
Thanks for the quick follow up. I’m not sure that Mr. Breton answered my question adequately, and I’m sure Mr. Breton meant to say “then ESA expects the company to report the incident to ESA (not CSA).” However, I guess we’ll all have to wait and see if this type of regulation pops up elsewhere. Also IMHO, having this presented was a good idea. Best regards, Ron Pickard ron.pick...@intermec.com From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org] On Behalf Of Doug Nix Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 4:00 PM To: emc-p...@ieee.org Subject: More on Ontario, Canada Registration of Manufacturers All, I had an interesting conversation with Normand Breton, General Manager, Product Safety at ESA this morning. In response to Ron Pickard's question from earlier today, his response was (I'm paraphrasing here) "If a company sells the same product outside of Ontario as they do in Ontario, and a severe incident occurs (see the FAQ's on the ESA web site), then ESA expects the company to report the incident to CSA. If the product is not sold in Ontario, then they do not need to report it." I've asked Mr Breton to write an article for the Newsletter and to consider presenting at the Symposium in October. I've also posted all of the ESA documents in the IEEE EMC-PSTC Electronic Community for easy access, https://www.ieeecommunities.org/emc-pstc. You can also get them directly from the ESA web site, http://www.esasafe.com/product_safety/index.php . -- Doug Nix, A.Sc.T.
