Vancouver Chapter The IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society targets design professionals and design engineers interested in electrical product safety. The IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society addresses safety engineering for equipment and devices used in the scientific, engineering, industrial, commercial and residential arenas. It allows engineers and other technical professionals an opportunity to discuss and disseminate technical information, to enhance professional skills, and to provide outreach to engineers, students and others with an interest in the field. The IEEE Reliability Society is concerned with the problems involved in attaining reliability, maintaining it through the life of the system or device, and measuring it.

Product Safety For Emerging Power Generation Technologies (fuel cells) Date: Wednesday, 28th November, 2007 Time: 6:30pm Location: Please contact Rasvan Mihai () for more information Abstract: Fuel cells are an old technology but only in the past 20 years they took the road to commercial use. Ensuring the safe use of emerging technologies should be of utmost importance to design engineers. Product safety considerations in design and third party certification can be difficult for emerging technologies. How is it being done for the current fuel cell systems and what should the considerations be for other new technology applications? How do businesses and the society benefit from such practices? All these questions will be answered by Harry Deo, who is Principal Safety and Certification Engineer at Tekion Canada. He graduated from SFU and is member of APEGBC. In the past 8 years he has been involved in the fuel cell sector and participated at the first UL certification for a commercial fuel cell system. For registration please contact Eugene Trandafir () or Rasvan Mihai ()
Normal Temperature (Heating) Test Date: Tuesday, 4th December, 2007 Time: 6:30pm Location: BCIT Burnaby Campus, 3700 Willingdon, in Building SE2, Town Square 'C' Abstract: Normal Temperature Test is one of the most common tests that can be found in most product safety standards, such as UL 60950/CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1-03, UL 1598/CSA C22.2 250-24/NMX-J-ANCE, etc. Some standards may have a different name as ‘Heating Test’. The test is performed at the intended operating conditions. Test results shall determine particular requirements in the standard(s) are met. Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada (ULC) is one of Canada’s leading product safety Standards Development Organizations. It serves as a safety and technical resource to help manufacturers deliver safer products to markets worldwide. Only those products that endure ULC’s precise and thorough testing to national product safety standards can bear a ULC Mark or a UL Mark for Canada. With UL and ULC Marks of Safety appearing on more than 21 billion products, retailers, specifiers and consumers can buy and use products with confidence. Upon completion you should be able to

Manufacturing …Facing the changing world economy!!! Jointly presented by the EMS/PCS and Safety and Reliability societies Date: Tuesday, 29th November, 2005 Time: 6:30pm-8:00pm Location: BCIT Burnaby Campus, 3700 Willingdon, in Building SE2, Town Square 'C' Abstract: The dramatic changes going on the in world-wide economy demands a higher degree of performance and value-added activities in Canadian company’s in order to remain competitive in this world marketplace. Walter will provide valuable input to this process for electronic manufacturers as well as discuss the IRAP federal government assistance program. Speaker: Walter Wardrop is a National Research Council Industrial Technology Advisor with extensive experience in this field. He will also provide help in linking companies to the appropriate NRC ITA official who can help you apply for government grants or enlist other support provided through the IRAP program. Attendance is free. After the presentation, feel free to network or ask questions. Drinks and pizza are planned.
