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.

Links to short summaries of the latest publications are provided below. For a complete list of CIE publications visit the CIE website. To purchase CIE publications, go to the CIE Webshop. Links to free CIE publications and position statements can be found at the bottom of this page.

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.
