CODES CANADA = National Collaboration
75 years of collaboration and partnership betweenProvinces and Territories, NRC and the independent Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes

• Open & transparent model codes development• Regulatory impact analysis for all changes• Funded by the federal government• Research and evidence‐based codes• Consensus‐based decision making• Bilingual documents

Benefits of National Model Codes
3
Increased national uniformity creates economic prosperity
Partnership focuses on national benefits

Example: Plumbing Products
$24 Billion Canadian trade of residential plumbing/heating products$4.5 Billion total cost per year for testing and certificationOnly 10% of standards are harmonized
Potential Economic Benefit - Reducing duplicate testing and certification
could save Canadian consumers between $120 to $150 Million per year(CIPH)

How does the Codes Process work?
![Page 23: DECODING CODE PROCESS 101...- alignment w. int’l obligations - open government procurement - protecting public policy objectives - strengthen domestic trade -reconciling regulatory](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042116/5e944400a76c866188359e62/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Codes Development Process
Process is open, transparent, continuous and consensus-based. Key Features
- One common process for all codes- Balanced by region and interest categories- Substantial public involvement
23
![Page 24: DECODING CODE PROCESS 101...- alignment w. int’l obligations - open government procurement - protecting public policy objectives - strengthen domestic trade -reconciling regulatory](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042116/5e944400a76c866188359e62/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Code Development Process
From change request to code provision- change request from proponent- standing committee review & recommendation- CCBFC work plan approval - standing committee reviews code and develops changes - public review- standing committee revision and final recommendation- CCBFC decision- publication of Codes
24
![Page 25: DECODING CODE PROCESS 101...- alignment w. int’l obligations - open government procurement - protecting public policy objectives - strengthen domestic trade -reconciling regulatory](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042116/5e944400a76c866188359e62/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Principles of SMART Regulation
Proposed changes criteria• Within scope and objectives of code?• Need to be regulated? • Minimum level of performance?• Enforceable & measurable?• Satisfies cost-benefit analysis?
