CIE Publications

CIE has over 200 technical reports, standards and special publications in print. Standards are often joint with ISO. Proceeds from publication sales to Canadians support CIE/CNC activities in Canada as well as CIE activities abroad.

CNC/CIE members who contributed to the new publications listed below are shown following the link. A complete list of Canadian contributions to the work of the CIE since 1970 is available here.
