| Abstract | The National Fire Code of Canada 2015, together with the National Building Code of Canada 2015, the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings 2017 and the National Plumbing Code of Canada 2015, is an objective-based National Model Code that can be adopted by provincial and territorial governments. Codes Canada are developed by the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes (CCBFC).
In Canada, provincial and territorial governments have the authority to enact legislation that regulates the following activities within their jurisdictions:
• activities related to the construction, use or demolition of buildings and facilities
• the condition of specific elements of buildings and facilities
• the design or construction of specific elements of facilities related to certain hazards
• protection measures for the current or intended use of buildings
This legislation may include the adoption of the National Fire Code (NFC) without change or with modifications to suit local needs, and the enactment of other laws and regulations related to these activities, including the requirements for professional involvement.
The NFC is a model code that helps promote consistency among provincial and territorial fire codes.
By agreement with the National Research Council of Canada, Alberta is committed to using the National Fire Code of Canada as its base documentwith changes andmodifications to suit Alberta’s needs in regulating the fire standards. |
