What do Canadians say about this?

Interested to see if this affects anyone in Canada...

FROM UL ENVIRONMENT

Within the last week, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) released a notice clarifying the the proposal for energy efficiency regulations regarding external power supplies and standby power for compact audio, televisions and video products. The regulation currently states that products manufactured before July 1, 2010 are exempt while products manufactured after July 1, 2010 are subject to the new regulations.

The regulations require that a product:

  1. Meet the minimum performance requirement, and
  2. That they bear a mark from an accredited certification body, and
  3. That they submit a report to NRCan of the energy performance of the product

For products manufactured after July 1, 2010 and already in Canada at the time that the regulations are live, the product only has to meet requirements (1) and (2) above IF it crosses provincial borders for the purpose of sale or lease; products that are already in the country at the date the regulations go live will NOT be required to comply with requirement (3).

These regulations are currently in public comment. The date that NRCan publishes (or registers) the regulation will be the date after which these changes will be enforced.

UL is one of 5 certification bodies accredited by the SCC test these products, issue test reports, and provide an approved Energy Efficiency Verification Mark to help manufacturers meet these new requirements.

Since it applies to Compact Audio Products, Televisions, Clocks and Video Playing/Recording Products, I'm guessing sign companies with EMCs and/or Time/Temp displays may be affected, but think that's probably outside the scope of the regulation.

      Mounting Signs On EIFS

      By Rocco · Posted

      It depends on what's under the EIFS.   If it's plywood under the foam, then toggles are fine for a lightweight sign.  If masonry, we've come to like the titen HD (simpson strong tie brand) anchors or long wedge anchors.   The Titen HD screws are more user friendly than tapcons IMO.   They come in a variety of sizes, sometimes even at the big home centers.   Just check to see if it's densglass (fiberglass wall panels) under the foam.  Engineeners have told us that densglass isn't "structural" and that things need to be thru-bolted with uni-strut (or equal) sleepers across studs inside the wall.  A few years back, we were called out for an emergency call where someone had installed some large raceway channel letter signs to an EIFS wall that had densglass behind.  They used lag screws.  These held for a while but a heavy snow caused them to fail.   And toggles should work with Densglass but again not for any heavy loads.    In any case don't compress the foam too much.  A sleeve (mentioned above) would be needed for whatever the depth of the foam might be, though probably not needed for something light like an ACM panel.   if it's a really small sign, then appropriate exterior screws are usually OK going into plywood.

      Pepsi logo vinyl colors

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hi   Can anyone tell me the right color red and blue translucent vinyl for the "new" Pepsi logo?  We have a local ice cream spot that recently changed from Coke to Pepsi and we have to replace the graphics on a couple of lit cabinets.   The customer sent me the logo in various formats but it didn't specify the correct colors.   I've searched but keep getting CYMK, etc. for the older logo - 2022 or so.   Thanks!
