The Canadian Institute for Plumbing
and Heating (CIPH) has announced that
Shamus A. Allidina has joined the institute
as its technical advisor for codes and
standards. Allidina, who holds a Masters Degree
in Engineering, began his career in
Uganda in 1969 as a project co-ordinator
with Industrial Promotional Services, the
second largest plastic plant in East Africa,
Shamus eventually being promoted to technical
Allidina manager. Shortly after moving to Canada
in 1972, he completed his Masters at Carleton University
in 1974, and began his 31 years with CSA, working as a
project engineer for the CSA international, certification
and testing division of CSA Group. He was also placed

dards technical committees.
Later, he was promoted to senior engineer responsi-
ble for certification programs, standards work, training,
and resolution issues. He is currently a member of the
Professional Engineers of Ontario, ASTM International
and CSA technical committees.
CIPH says: “Allidina’s vast experience
has helped him spearhead a number of
projects for developing new CSA stan-
dards and certification programs, specifi-
cally relating to plastics piping, conduits
and plumbing products.”
He will provide the following services to
CIPH: • Provide technical resources on plumb-
ing and heating matters as they relate to
codes and standards such as CSA, ASTM,
ULC, ULI or any other U.S. based organi-
zations that may have an impact on CIPH
members in Canada and the U.S.;
• Monitor and report codes and standards activities
(provincially and nationally) especially at the NRC
Codes Centre and provide input and advice to the
committees to safeguard CIPH member concerns,
and provide public comment on items that may be
out for public comment;
• Provide input to the code committees and task
forces for changes that may be beneficial to the
CIPH community or which may be an irritant and
need some remediation.
