29 8. CANADIAN CODES 29

30 Canadian Codes Under Canada's constitution, provinces and territories regulate design and construction of new house and buildings, and the maintenance and operation of fire safety systems in existing buildings. Adoption and enforcement of the codes are the responsibility of the provincial and territorial authorities having jurisdiction. Provinces and territories that adopt or adapt the National Model Construction Codes New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan Newfoundland and Labrador Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon Prince Edward Island Province-wide adoption of the National Building Code, National Fire Code and National Plumbing Code with some modifications and additions Province-wide adoption of the National Fire Code and the National Building Code, except aspects pertaining to means of egress and to one- and two-family dwellings within Group C in Part 9. No province-wide plumbing code Territory-wide adoption of the National Building Code and National Fire Code with some modifications and additions. Yukon adopts the NPC Province-wide adoption of the National Plumbing Code. Province-wide fire code not based on the National Fire Code. Major municipalities adopt the National Building Code Provinces/jurisdictions that publish their own codes based on the National Model Construction Codes Alberta & British Columbia Vancouver Ontario Province-wide building, fire, and plumbing codes that are substantially the same as National Model Codes with variations that are primarily additions Province-wide building, fire and plumbing codes based on the National Model Codes, but with significant variations in content and scope. The Ontario Fire Code, in particular, is significantly different from the National Fire Code. Ontario also references the Model National Energy Code for Buildings in its building code Quebec Province-wide building and plumbing codes that are substantially the same as the National Building Code and National Plumbing Code, but with variations that are primarily additions. Major municipalities adopt the National Fire Code 30

31 Canadian Codes Standing Committee Task Group Working Group Advisory Group (As needed) CCBFC Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes Standing Committee Standing Committee 9 Standing Committees - Research & Logistic Support - Publish Model Codes Policy Advise Standing Committee PTPACC Provincial/Territorial Policy Advisory Committee on Codes 31

32 Canadian Codes Council of Canadian Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners (CCFMFC): OBJECTIVES: Advising/promoting legislation, policies, & procedures pertinent to fire protection; Participating in development of codes & standards; Promoting fire safety awareness; 32

33 Canadian Codes MODEL CODES - National Building Code of Canada (NBC) - National Fire Code of Canada (NBC) - Developed as complementary and coordinated documents to minimize the possibility of conflicting provisions 33

34 Canadian Codes NBC specifies: Where a fire alarm system is needed Installation of fire alarm system to CAN/ULC-S524 (Installation of Fire Alarm Systems) Verification of fire alarm system prior to occupancy to CAN/ULC-S537 (Verification of Fire Alarm Systems) NFC requires: On-going maintenance of fire alarm system to CAN/ULC-S536 (Inspection & Testing of Fire Alarm Systems) Other pertinent ULC standards 34

35 ELECTRICAL CODE (CSA C22.1) Every province and territory adopts and enforces the same installation code, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Part I, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations The electrical codes are eventually incorporated into each jurisdiction's regulations for enforcement. Currently revised every three years 35

36 Codes/standards relationship Canada Consumer Product Safety Act Residential Detector Regulations (Health Canada) ULC-S529, CAN/ULC-S530 CAN/ULC-S531, CAN/ULC-S525 CAN/ULC-S526, CAN/ULC-S527 CAN/ULC-S541 BUILDING CODE, FIRE CODE, ELECTRICAL CODE, FEDERAL LEGISLATION, STANDARDS National Buidling Code of Canada (NBC) Model Code Provincial/Territorial Buidling Codes (e.g. ABC) Part 3, Section 2 Building Fire Safety CAN/ULC-S531 (Smoke Alarms) CAN/ULC-S526 (Visible Signals) CAN/ULC-S537 CAN/ULC-S553 CAN/ULC-S561 CAN/ULC-S524 Equipment standards: Audible & Visible Smoke Detectors Heat Detectors National Fire Code of Canada (NFC) Model Code Provincial/Territorial Fire Codes (e.g. AFC) (Bldg & Occupant Fire Safety) (FA & voice), (smoke & CO) CAN/ULC-S536 CAN/ULC-S552 CAN/ULC-S531 CAN/ULC-S561 Installation Standards CAN/ULC-S524 CAN/ULC-S561 CAN/ULC-S553 CAN/ULC-S553 Canadian Electrical Code Safety Standard for Electrical Installations (CEC) Jurisdictions Amend Code for local conditions: Issued in Schedule of Chanages CAN/ULC-S524 CAN/ULC-S531 36

37 Differences: Codes/standards Model Code Local governments Delegated by province/territory CODES Broad scope (covers wide range of issues) Force of law through adoption by province/territory/municipality Code Enforcement CODES AND STANDARDS Similar committee based consensus process Electrical Code Varies between & within Provinces Separate agencies (BCSA, ESA) Utilities (e.g. SaskPower), Local goverment (Alberta Municipal Affairs) Narrow scope (limited range of issues) Given force of law by being referenced in Codes STANDARDS Standards Enforcement Local governments Conformity Assessment Bodies Testing Organizations Some may be used by trade or by industry as articulation of good practice 37
