What national standard has been adopted by each jurisdiction in Canada as part of their applicable Act and/or Regulations?

The national standard that has been adopted by each jurisdiction in Canada, specifically in relation to the safe design, construction, and operation of pressure equipment and refrigerating systems, is CSA B51. This standard is part of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and sets out guidelines and requirements that are crucial for ensuring safety and compliance in refrigeration and other pressure-related industries.

CSA B51 includes the requirements for the design, fabrication, inspection, testing, and certification of boilers, pressure vessels, and piping systems, which are fundamental components in refrigeration systems. Compliance with CSA B51 helps ensure that equipment is safe to operate and meets the established safety standards necessary for public protection.

Other codes, such as ASME Codes, ANSI Codes, or NFPA Codes, while specific and important in various contexts, do not hold the same universal adoption across all jurisdictions in Canada as CSA B51 does in relation to refrigeration regulations. Consequently, CSA B51 is recognized as the national standard that specifically pertains to the requirements set forth for refrigeration systems in each Canadian jurisdiction.
