Key Electrical Rules & Codes in Surrey

Area	What the Code / Rule Requires
Adopted Code Edition	As of March 4, 2025, BC has adopted the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, 26th Edition (C22.1-24) as the BC Electrical Code. All electrical work under permits issued after that date must comply. Work under permits issued before that date may still follow the 25th edition until completed, with some conditions.
Licensing and Certification	Electricians and contractors doing regulated work must be licensed through Technical Safety BC. Also, a Field Safety Representative (FSR) designation is often required on permits.
Permits Required	Most electrical installation, repair, replacement, and major work (like EV chargers, solar panels, panel upgrades, hot tub wiring, etc.) require a permit. The City of Surrey requires that regulated work be permitted before it begins.
Inspection Requirements	After installation or before covering wiring / energizing, inspections must be done. Surrey allows online requests. Work done without required permits risks penalty or doubling of fees.
Additional Documentation	Projects that add electrical load (e.g. EV charging, hot tubs, HVAC) often require demand load calculations. For large or complex installations (commercial, high voltage, or customer-owned high voltage), engineered / sealed drawings may be needed, plus professional engineer involvement.
Operating Permits	For maintenance or ongoing use of regulated equipment (e.g. in commercial, institutional sites, multi-occupancy buildings), Surrey requires electrical operating permits. Also for temporary uses (entertainment, construction) under certain conditions.
