| Next edition of the National Building Code is expected to be published in 2005.
"The National Building Code of Canada 1995 (NBC) is the "bible" of the construction industry, designed to ensure that buildings are structurally sound, safe from fire, free of health hazards, and accessible.
Prepared by the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes, the NBC is used as a model for virtually all regulations in Canada and pertains whether you are constructing a building, or renovating or altering it. Health and safety are the Code's primary objectives, and it strives to achieve these objectives by establishing model standards. Divided into nine parts and organized using a convenient decimal numbering system, the NBC defines words, terms and phrases, and spells out minimum requirements for fire protection; structural design; environmental separation, heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC); plumbing; construction site safety; and housing and small building construction. |
