Sections de commerciales de l’ÉFC rassemblent les entreprises membres évoluant dans les mêmes secteurs verticaux et leur offrent une plateforme leur permettant de collaborer sur des enjeux d’intérêt commun, y compris les questions liées aux codes et aux normes. À l’ère de la mondialisation croissante, il devient essentiel pour l’industrie électrique canadienne d’harmoniser ses codes et ses normes. Cette normalisation contribuera à ouvrir la voie aux entreprises qui souhaitent explorer de nouveaux débouchés et permettra la réduction des coûts d’exploitation globaux.
Sections de commerciales de l’ÉFC offrent une plateforme aux entreprises membres de verticales de produits semblables afin qu’elles puissent collaborer sur des sujets d’intérêt commun, y compris les questions liées aux :
Codes et normes
Changements aux règlements tels que ceux qui s’appliquent à l’efficacité énergétique, la sécurité en électricité ou le recyclage des produits
Lois commerciales proposées
Nouvelles technologies et tendances du marché
Inquiétudes et exigences des utilisateurs finals
Préoccupations concernant la commercialisation et les communications donnant lieu à des campagnes de sensibilisation du public ou de l’industrie
Aux sujets touchant le climat des affaires au Canada ou dans le monde entier
Pourquoi devenir membre?
Alors que les entreprises conservent leur avantage concurrentiel en gardant leurs stratégies d’affaires et le développement de leurs produits confidentiels, il est très avantageux de rester à l’affût des tendances générales et des changements extérieurs du marché.
L’ÉFC encourage ses membres à faire partie d’une Section commerciales afin d’assurer que les opinions de leur entreprise sur les importantes questions liées à l’industrie soient représentées. Sans aucune représentation de votre société aux réunions de section, vos concurrents et d’autres parties prenantes prennent position et ne partagent pas nécessairement le point de vue de votre organisation.
Chaque Section produits œuvre collectivement à l’avancement des codes et normes au Canada. Visitez la page Web des Codes et normes pour obtenir plus de détails concernant toute activité ouverte, en cours ou fermée à laquelle participent l’ÉFC et les membres des Sections commerciales.
L’ÉFC travaille au sein des sections de produits dans l’effort de représenter les besoins de nos membres manufacturiers à l’égard de l’harmonisation des normes. Les membres ont établi que l’harmonisation des normes nord-américaines constitue la clé de l’avancement des débouchés, de la rationalisation des processus et de la réduction des coûts de fabrication.
