NFPA 55 facilitates protection from physiological, over-pressurization, explosive, and flammability hazards associated with compressed gases and cryogenic fluids. Criteria provide fundamental safeguards for the installation, storage, use, and handling of compressed gases and cryogenic fluids in portable and stationary cylinders, containers, and tanks in all occupancy types.

This standard provides technical requirements for exhaust systems that will protect lives and property from fires and explosions and minimize damage in the event that such fires and explosions occur.

In June 2015, the ASME Council on Standards and Certification approved the creation of a new Standards Committee on Safety Standards for Thermal Energy Storage Systems (TES).

Intended Use
The objective of Standards issued as part of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part II, is to give consideration to the prevention of injury to persons and damage to property through proper design, good construction, and high quality of work. These safety Standards are intended to provide requirements for the design and construction of electrical equipment, primarily to address fire and electrical shock hazards and for use throughout Canada in conformity with the rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.

The BC Fire Code contains technical requirements designed to provide an acceptable level of fire safety within a community. It applies the core concepts of the National Fire Code, combined with elements specific to BC's unique needs.

The BC Plumbing Code (BC PC) applies the core concepts of the National Plumbing Code, combined with elements specific to BC's unique needs and sets out technical provisions for the design and installation of new plumbing systems. It also applies to the extension, alteration, renewal and repair of existing plumbing systems. The BC PC is ideal for anyone installing or designing plumbing systems.

Saskatchewan follows the National Building Code of Canada (NBC) by regulation under provisions of The Uniform Building and Accessibility Standards Act (the UBAS Act) with few amendments. The NBC sets the minimum standard for building and accessibility. The NBC establishes these four core objectives:
•safety;
•health;
•accessibility for persons with disabilities; and
•fire and structural protection of buildings.
The 2010 edition of the NBC has been adopted for use throughout Saskatchewan and took effect on May 1, 2013.

Saskatchewan follows the National Fire Code of Canada (NFC) by regulation under provisions of The Fire Prevention Act, 1992 as the standard for the fire safe operation of buildings and facilities. The NFC establishes these three core objectives:
•safety;
•health; and
•fire protection of buildings and facilities.
The 2010 edition of the NFC has been adopted for use throughout Saskatchewan and took effect on September 11, 2013.

Saskatchewan follows the Canadian Plumbing Code 1990, regulated in the Saskatchewan Plumbing and Drainage Regulations in Part IV.
