REGULATIONS AND TECHNICAL STANDARDS APPLICABLE DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF WORK

O.C. 220-2007, s. 1; O.C. 87-2018, s. 5.

  • In this Chapter, a reference to a regulation, or a technical standard developed by a body other than the Board, refers to the most recent regulation, or the most recent edition of the technical standard and includes any amendments to that edition.

    However, the amendments and editions of the technical standards published after 7 April 2018 apply to petroleum equipment only from the last day of the sixth month following the publication of the French and English versions of those texts. Where those versions are not published at the same time, the period runs from the date of publication of the last version. If the amendments or editions are in one language, the period runs from their publication.

    O.C. 220-2007, s. 1; O.C. 87-2018, s. 6.

  • Where the referenced requirements are inconsistent with the requirements of any provision of this Chapter, the latter prevail.

    O.C. 220-2007, s. 1.

        1. Construction work on a petroleum equipment installation must be carried out in accordance with this Chapter, except for

          1. construction work of a petroleum equipment installation covered by CSA Standard B139, Installation code for oil-burning equipment, published by the CSA Group, which must be carried out in accordance with that standard, and with sections 8.08 to 8.22 of this Chapter;

          2. construction work on a petroleum equipment installation located inside a building and not referred to in subparagraph 1, which must be carried out in accordance with Part 4 of Division B of the NFCC, National Fire Code of Canada, published by the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes of the National Research Council of Canada, and with sections 8.08 to 8.22 and with the applicable provisions of Divisions VIII and IX of this Chapter;

          3. construction work of a pipeline, which must be carried out in accordance with CAN/CSA Standard Z662, Oil and Gas Pipeline Systems, published by the CSA Group, and with sections 8.08 to 8.22 of this Chapter.


    Sections 8.01 to 8.05 and 8.218 of this Chapter apply to the work referred to in subparagraphs 1 to 3 of the first paragraph.

    O.C. 87-2018, s. 7.
