Relevant Codes and Standards
The Underwriters' Laboratories of
Canada (ULC) has been accredited by the Standards Council
of Canada to develop and implement national standards on
fire protection. These standards are voluntary by nature;
however, some legislations have adopted them by reference
in their regulations.
Codes and standards are updated on a continuous basis.
Please ensure that you have the latest edition.

However, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
produces the most widely used fire protection standards
in the world.
