The national model codes improve with each edition thanks to the contributions of inspectors, designers, suppliers, contractors, researchers, instructors, and others. Every change request is reviewed by a standing committee.

Typical changes:

• accommodate new construction techniques and systems,
  
• clarify requirements, or
  
• update references to standards.

Do you have a suggestion to improve one of the Codes? You have two options for submitting your change request:

• On-line Option
  Read the detailed guidelines, and for each change request, submit a separate Code Change Request form on-line.
  
  
• Download Option
  Download the guidelines and Code Change Request form in PDF or MS-Word format, then e-mail, fax, or mail the form(s) to the Canadian Codes Centre.

Your change request will be considered for the post-2010 editions of the Codes and should include:

• the existing Code requirement, if applicable,
• the reasons for the change or addition,
• your proposed revision or new requirement,
• any supporting documentation, including cost/benefit data,
• the enforcement implications, and
• the related Code objectives.
