One of the ways it does this, is by identifying the option (at the inspector’s discretion) of photos and/or recorded videos being sent to inspectors by LEC/Installers, to demonstrate compliance with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code.

If you have communicated with your inspector and a review of pictures and/or recorded video has been agreed upon, your inspector will guide you to follow the process found HERE
