| Abstract | The National Building Code is published by the National Research Council as an advisory document for use throughout Canada. It is advisory only and has no legal standing until and unless adopted for specific use by a provincial government or municipal administration. The Code is essentially a set of minimum regulations respecting the safety of buildings with reference to public health, fire protection and structural sufficiency. It is not and is not intended to be a text-book of building design, advice upon which should be sought from professional sources. The Code relates to buildings and simple structures but it is not intended for use with specialized civil engineering structures. Its essential purpose is the promotion of public safety through the use of desirable building standards throughout Canada. |
