Scope

1.1
Except as indicated in Clause 1.2, Part 1 of this Standard applies to all boilers, pressure vessels, pressure piping, and fittings, as provided for by the Act (as defined in Clause 3) and identified in Part 1 of this Standard. Notes:
(1) It is possible that the size limitations specified in provincial or territorial statutes or regulations will differ from those specified in Part 1 of this Standard. The applicable regulatory authority should be consulted.
(2) The pressures specified in Part 1 of this Standard are gauge pressures above atmospheric pressure.
(3) This Standard applies to all boilers, pressure vessels, pressure piping, and fittings installed subsequent to its adoption.

1.2
Requirements for compressed natural gas cylinders and refuelling station pressure piping systems and containers are covered in Parts 2 and 3 of this Standard.

1.3
This Standard does not apply to
(a) pressure-retaining components in hydraulic elevators;
(b) pressure-containment devices for gas-filled switchgear and controlgear; and
(c) pressure vessels for the transportation of dangerous goods regulated by Transport Canada.

1.4
Where a clause in Part 1 of this Standard is at variance with a Code or Standard referenced in Part 1 of this Standard, the requirements of Part 1 of this Standard govern.
