Two new editions of gas safety codes came into force on November 1, 2017:
The above new editions of gas safety codes are part of the 2015 edition of gas codes published by the Canadian Standards Association. Technical Safety BC reviewed the 2015 edition and proposed amendments to the gas codes specific to BC. These were announced last year in the information bulletin: Gas Safety Regulation amendments and new gas safety codes adopted.
