The 2006 Alberta Fire Code (AFC) sets out the technical provisions regulating:
- 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
The 2006 AFC complements the 2006 Alberta Building Code, and both must be considered when constructing, renovating or maintaining buildings.
New information has been added to the 2006 AFC to make it clearer, easier to apply to existing buildings, and more accommodating to innovation. It explains the objectives that the Code's provisions are intended to achieve and describes the functions that a building or facility must perform to fulfill these objectives.
The electronic version of the 2006 AFC does not contain the application and intent statements. These will be published in a User's Guide at a later date.
The electronic version allows users to easily navigate between the various Parts of the AFC. The integrated external links allow for instant cross-referencing to provisions in other Codes and the active internal links allow for consultation of cross-references, defined terms and Appendix Notes. The electronic version also includes an easy-to-use search engine. Technical changes or additions made relative to the 2005 edition of the National Fire Code of Canada are indicated.
