Standards
This specification covers chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (CPVC) pipes made in standard thermoplastic pipe dimension ratios and pressure rated for water. (See Appendix). Included are criteria for classifying CPVC plastic pipe materials and CPVC plastic pipe, and requirements and test methods for materials, workmanship, dimension, sustained pressure, burst pressure, flattening, and extursion quality. Methods of marking are also given.
This specification covers hollow and solid (see 5.3 and 5.4) concrete masonry units made from hydraulic cement, water, and mineral aggregates with or without the inclusion of other materials. There are three classes of concrete masonry units: Normal Weight, Medium Weight, and Lightweight. These units are suitable for both load bearing and non-load bearing applications. This standard covers hollow blocks from sizes of 3in. (76.2mm) to 8 in. (203.2mm).
Concrete masonry units covered by this specification are made from lightweight or normal weight aggregates, or both.
This standard specifies requirements for circular-cross-section seamless polypropylene (PP) pipes made from homopolymer polypropylene (PP-H), block copolymer polypropylene (PP-R) or random copolymer polypropylene with modified crystalline structure and elevated temperature resistance (PP-RCT).
This regional standard specifies requirements for high density polyethylene garbage badge which are normally used for the disposal of domestic and commercial waste. It includes requirements and test methods for impact resistance bag dimensions, burst resistance, heat seal integrity and leakage. This standard does not apply to bag intended for the disposal of industrial, biological or medical waste.
This standard covers flat-bottomed water storage tanks of circular cross-section manufactured from unreinforced polyethylene by the process of rotational moulding. Included are requirements for physical characteristics, dimensions, materials performance, testing marking and labelling.
These specifications apply to tanks intended for:
(a) The storage of potable water at normal atmospheric pressure;
(b) Installation and use at environmental or service temperatures such that the material of tank remains between 15 °C and 80°C; and
(c) Vertical, above- ground installation on fixed, flat, fully- supporting bases.
The purpose of this Standard is to provide criteria for the safe erection, use, and inspection of access scaffold (as covered in CSA S269.2 and engineered systems) and for the training of erectors and users of such equipment.
1.2 Subjects addressed
This Standard applies to the erection, use, and inspection of access scaffold that is
a) supported on a surface;
b) hung from multiple points, but is not capable of moving vertically or horizontally; or
c) mounted on wheels.
This Standard addresses key hazards, including fall hazards, structural instability, platform failures, and material handling problems.
Note: In this Standard, the term erection refers to the assembling, altering, or dismantling of a scaffold.
While this Standard applies to scaffold as defined in Clause 3, this Standard is not limited to scaffold used solely for the purpose of construction, maintenance, or repair operations.
1.3 Equipment not covered
This Standard does not apply to the following:
a) falsework and formwork for construction purposes, as covered in CSA S269.1;
b) suspended access equipment, as covered in CSA Z91 and CAN/CSA-Z271;
c) elevating work platforms, as covered in CAN/CSA-B354.6, CAN/CSA-B354.7, and CAN/CSA-B354.8;
d) manual or powered mast-climbing work platforms, such as a pump jack scaffold or equipment covered in CSA B354.9, CSA B354.10, and CSA B354.11;
e) centre-pole scaffolds; and
f) appliances or accessories attached to scaffold.
1.4 Terminology
In this Standard, shall is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; should is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; may is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard; and can is used to express possibility or capability.
Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.
Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.
Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.
1.5 Measurement
The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.
