BRITISH COLUMBIA FIRE CODE 2006
The British Columbia Fire Code 2006 (BCFC) sets out technical provisions regulating:
- activities related to the construction, use or demolition of buildings and facilities;
- the condition of specific elements of buildings and facilities;
- the design or construction of specific elements of facilities related to certain hazards; and
- protection measures for the current or intended use of buildings.
The BC Fire Code is a regulation of the Fire Services Act, and is based on the model 2005 National Fire Code of Canada. The 2006 BCFC succeeds the 1998 British Columbia Fire Code.
The BC Fire Code is published in an objective-based code format for the first time in the 2006 edition. The objective-based code format organizes the BCFC into three Divisions:
- Division A, which defines the scope of the Code and contains the objectives, the functional statements and the conditions necessary to achieve compliance;
- Division B, which contains acceptable solutions (formerly referred to as “technical requirements”) deemed to satisfy the objectives and functional statements listed in Division A. Most of these are carried forward from the 1998 BCFC; and
- Division C, which contains administrative provisions.
The electronic versions of the BC Fire Code are also linked to two new types of explanatory material (Intent and Application Statements):
- intent statements (detailed statements on the specific intent of the provision); and
- application statements (detailed statements on what the provision applies to).
