ElectricalCompliance Management4HighOwner$ implied
Electrical contractor repeatedly has to explain and defend refusing to install customer-supplied fixtures that lack Canadian electrical approval markings (CSA, cUL, cETL), despite previously communicating requirements.
No automated way to verify, communicate, and enforce compliance requirements before installation day; existing methods (verbal/email warnings) are ineffective and lead to conflicts.
