Request a code change

Codes Canada publications improve with each edition thanks to the contributions of inspectors, designers, suppliers, contractors, researchers, instructors, and others. Every change request is reviewed by a CCBFC standing committee.

Typical changes:

• accommodate new construction techniques and systems
• clarify requirements
• update references to standards
• propose expansion of scope or objective.

Do you have a suggestion to improve one of the Codes? If so, please read the detailed guidelines and, for each change request, submit a separate Code Change Request using the on-line form provided.

Your change request will be considered for the 2020 editions of Codes Canada publications and should include:

• the existing Code requirement, if applicable
• the reasons for the change or addition
• your proposed revision or new requirement
• supporting documentation, including cost/benefit data
• the enforcement implications, and
• the related Code objectives.
