Publication summary of NFBC editions and related documents

The first National Farm Building Code of Canada (NFBC) was published in 1960. Subsequent editions were published in 1965, 1970, 1975, 1977, 1983, 1990, and 1995.

Note that the NFBC is in the form of a model code to permit adoption by the appropriate authority. Some provinces and territories adopt or adapt the model NFBC and enforce its requirements. Elsewhere, the NFBC is used as a guide to minimum requirements for farm building construction in Canada.
