Intent statements for National Building Code 2010 now available
Intent statements for the National Building Code of Canada 2010 (NBC) have been updated and are now available, free of charge, on the National Codes website.
This information, which does not form an integral part of the Code, helps users understand the rationale behind each requirement. This leads to a more accurate interpretation and application of the acceptable solutions published in Division B, and a clearer understanding of what alternative solutions should achieve.
The intent statements are published by the National Research Council of Canada on behalf of the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes.
For further information, please contact Anne Gribbon, Secretary to the CCBFC, at anne.gribbon@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca or 613-993-5569.
