Test Procedure for Conducted Energy Weapons, Version 2.0

Several studies have discussed the need for reliable uniform testing of Conducted Energy Weapons (CEWs) independent of the manufacturer. This Test Procedure is designed to enable organizations across Canada to test CEWs in a reliable, repeatable manner to determine whether they are operating within manufacturerʼs specifications. The CEW Test Procedure establishes a methodology by which testing facilities and personnel will be able to test CEWs and determine whether they are operating within manufacturers' specifications, and defines data collection requirements so that data collected may be used in forensic analysis and for future research.
