1 Canadian Codes & Standards Updates

2 Canadian Codes & Standards Agenda: Which ones do we need to know? What are the latest versions What s changed in the latest versions? What did you miss?

3 Standards Reference Updates Only constant is change

4 Which Ones Do We Need to Know? Legally mandatory ones relevant to g y y information transport Ad Hoc ones relevant to information transport Non-mandatory ones required by or beneficial to our clients

5 Non Mandatory Communication Standard Example: Telecommunication Industry Association

6 ANSI/TIA 568 Recent Updates ANSI/TIA/EIA 568 B standard is now replaced with ANSI/TIA 568 C standard. Phased standard update

7 ANSI/TIA 568 Sections 568-C.0 Generic telecommunication cabling for customer premises 568-C.1 Commercial building telecommunications cabling standard 568-C.2 Balanced twisted-pair telecommunications cabling and components standards d 568-C.3 Optical fiber cabling components standard 568-C.4 Broadband coaxial cabling and components standard

8 ANSI/TIA 568 Published Dates 568-C.3 C3 Published in June C.0 & C.1 Published in February C.2 Published in August C.4 Published in July 2011

9 ANSI/TIA 568 C.0 Provides a generic standard for projects not covered by a specific TIA standard. Incorporates some aspects from 568-B.1 and addenda. Fiber link tests and performance requirements Addendum C.0-1 published in September 2010 updates references for balanced twisted t pairs

10 ANSI/TIA 568 C.1 Specific for commercial building environments Incorporates content from 568-B.1 and consolidates the addenda. Removes coaxial cabling Addendum C.1-2 published in November 2011 General updates

11 ANSI/TIA 568 C.2 Balanced twisted-pair telecommunications cabling and components standards Incorporates 568 B.2 and addendum content

12 ANSI/TIA 568 C.3 Optical fiber cabling components standard Incorporates 568 B.3 and addendum content Generic content moved to C.0 Addendum d C.3-1 published December 2011 OM4 & fiber array connectors

13 ANSI/TIA 568 C.4 Broadband coaxial cabling and components standard Centralizes coaxial cabling Centralizes coaxial cabling performance, testing, and standards information into one document

14 TIA 569 & 942 Upcoming section updates: 569 C Telecommunication pathways and spaces 942 A Telecommunication infrastructure standard d for data centers

19 Relevant Changes to NBCC )RequiresanFT ) rating for a penetration of a firewall ) requires an FT rating for a penetration of a horizontal service space or concealed space over a vertical fire separation

20 Relevant Changes to NBCC )addsa ) a requirement to have a telephone at rooftop helicopter landing areas. 336DesignofHazardous Areas B ildi d i i t Building design requirements moved from NFC

21 Relevant Changes to NBCC ) 3 wiring located in areas in which flammable gases or vapours, combustible dusts or combustible fibres are present in quantities to create a hazard shall conform to CEC hazardous locations )a)ii-iv repeat the FT4/FT6 ) ) p requirements for plenums

22 Relevant Changes to NBCC Penetrations of Fire Separations mimics FT rating of firewalls mimicsft4 requirement for plenums

23 Other Updates? nationalcodes nrc gc ca/eng/pres entations/2010_codes_presentations.shtml

24 NFC 2010

25 National Fire Code 2010 Changes B3 Occupancy type added. Building requirements moved to NBCC. Definition i i of Treatment updated. d Referenced standards updated. Some changes to protection of services for demolition/excavation.

26 CEC Part I Installation Standard

27 CEC 2012 Changes Section 0 Definition for Approved Appendix B note added (for new products with no applicable product standard, to be permitted to be used with requirements set out by AHJ for that jurisdiction). Section (2) each compartment of a divided wireway can now contain the previous limit of 200 conductors, up to 20%.

28 CEC 2012 Changes (3) rule added to bond metal fittings used to terminate a non-metallic wiring method to a non-metallic outlet box hazardous location equipment marking revised to allow for Equipment Protection Level (EPL). Similarly , , Cable seals requirement simplified. Similarly

29 CEC 2012 Changes Natural a Gas (especially compressors) s) hazardous location classification moved to Table 64 and broken down more commercial showrooms at or above grade not classified hazardous (subject to restrictions). titi and similarly & refer cable types back to 4-008(1) which refers to Table 19 (rather than directly)

30 CEC 2012 Changes Added Splash pads to applicable areas. Appendix C5.4.3 Subcommittees are provided public review comments on proposals p for consideration. Appendix C6.3 Requests for amendments go to 60-day public review and section 24 and 52 requests go to Application of Electricity in Health Care for 30-day review

32 De facto Standards Canadian Equivalent

33 NFPA Changes Specific flamespread, smoke developed, and fire-resistance standards. Stringent, multi- national.

34 What did you miss? Difference between Codes & Standards Where they come from and how to change them. How they re laid out. Which parts you should know. Regional versions. More standards and more changes.
