The Canadian Equipment Industry Training Committee(CEITC) was formed in May 1995. The CEITC is working with the Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship(CCDA) to develop an updated Red Seal occupational standard for the heavy-duty equipment mechanic. It is expected that the occupational standard, once validated, will serve as a basis for the development of national curriculum. The CEITC will finalize its report on human resource needs of the industry and existing training. It will then present a proposal to continue working toward an industry-wide approach to training and also plans to examine training needs for partspersons in their industry, using the Red Seal occupational standard. 1, record 4, English, - Canadian%20Equipment%20Industry%20Training%20Committee

A popular TE option for food products packaged in glass containers under vacuum is the "button-top closure". These include lug versions used for jellies, sauces, and juices, and the threaded-seal version popular with the baby-food industry. A safety button, or coin-sized embossment on the top of the cap, pops-up as the jar is opened and its vacuum is lost. Accompanying this is the "pop" which serves as audible evidence of an undisrupted seal. When capped the embossed button is held down by vacuum pressure, providing the consumer with visual evidence that the container has not been opened. 1, record 7, English, - button%2Dtop%20closure
