BC Gas Safety Regulation Amendments and New Gas Safety Codes Now in Effect

The BC Safety Authority (BCSA) amendments to the Gas Safety Regulation and adoption of new gas safety codes came into effect November 1, 2016. They supersede the following two directives, which have been rescinded:

1. Directive No: D-G5 091103 4 – Common Venting Systems For Category III OR IV Gas Appliances
   Clause 8.10.6 has been revised in the B149.1 2015 (effective November 01) edition to add conditions and requirements for the common venting of appliances operating with a positive pressure.  This revision has made Directive No: D-G5 091103 4 redundant.
   
2. Directive No: D-G5 090929 3 – Auto Propane Components and EN 67 Compliance
   IGAC Protocol No. 09-17 was created in support of the B149.5 - 2005 code edition to cover off the European EN 67 standard issue. This standard has now been superseded by UN R67 and is recognized in Annex E of the 2015 code. It is now mandatory under Annex E of the 2015 B149.5 code (effective November 01). This revision has made Directive No: D-G5 090929 3 redundant.
