This is the second edition of CSA S478, Durability in buildings. It supersedes the first edition, published in 1995 under the title Guideline on Durability in Buildings. The first edition of CSA S478 was issued as a guidance document. This second edition has been developed as a Standard so that it can be referenced in the National Building Code of Canada (NBC).
This Standard sets forth minimum requirements to assist designers in creating durable buildings. Annexes to the Standard provide a framework within which the design service life of a building or a building element can be determined and specified. Other annexes to the Standard provide general guidance on the environmental and other design factors that have an impact on the durability of a building, a building material, and/or a building component.
The Standard carries forward from its first edition as a guideline an emphasis on the need to consider both initial and long-term costs, maintenance, and replaceability in the selection of materials and components.
This Standard is intended to evolve as more information on environmental loads and the impact on building durability becomes available.
This Standard was prepared by the CSA Technical Committee on Designing for Durability, under the jurisdiction of the Construction and Civil Infrastructure Strategic Steering Committee, and was formally approved by the Technical Committee. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

This is the seventh edition of CSA W47.1, Certification of companies for fusion welding of steel. It supersedes the previous editions published in 2009, 2003, 1992, 1983, 1973, 1947 (as W47), and 1938 (as a preliminary Standard). Technological advancements have made it necessary to provide an updated version.
This Standard deals with the certification of companies for fusion welding of steel. It is not a product Standard and cannot be used to evaluate or approve products. Furthermore, it is not intended to supersede Codes and Standards that govern specific products, e.g., CSA B51, the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, the Rules of the American Bureau of Shipping, or the Standards of the American Petroleum Institute.
This Standard stipulates minimum requirements that a company must meet and adhere to in order to obtain and maintain certification. Certification is granted by the Canadian Welding Bureau, the administrative body for this Standard, to companies that comply with the requirements of this Standard. Certification of a company indicates that, consistent with the requirements of the Division in which the company is certified, it has the organization, personnel, welding procedures, and equipment required to produce satisfactory welds and weldments.
Production of satisfactory welds and weldments is the responsibility of the certified company. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure, through adequate inspection, that the required quality is attained. Although the Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) makes periodic inspections of certified companies to ensure that they continue to comply with the requirements of this Standard, these inspections do not eliminate the need for a certified company’s quality control methods or a purchaser’s comprehensive inspection program.

This is the fifth edition of CSA W48, Filler metals and allied materials for metal arc welding. It supersedes the previous editions published in 2018, 2014, 2006, and 2001.
Filler metals standards are intended to provide a generic method of classification and evaluation that allows the end user to select appropriate welding consumables for a given welding process and product or application. The procedures and tests set out in this Standard, when correctly followed, are designed to produce a consistent product with test results that are as reproducible as possible.
The following are the major changes to this edition:
a) the reference to AWS A5.10/A5.10M has been added for the classification of aluminum GTAW and GMAW electrodes;
b) all specifications and classifications related to carbon and low-alloy steel SMAW electrodes have been replaced by references to AWS A5.1/A5.1M and A5.5/A5.5M;
c) all specifications and classifications related to SAW carbon and low-alloy electrodes/fluxes have been replaced by references to AWS A5.17/A5.17M and AWS A5.23/A5.23M;
d) updates to Clauses regarding packaging and marking have been made and two new Clauses added, one for technical data sheets (TDS) and the second for decertified products; and
e) Annexes have been updated and consolidated, providing information on packaging, storage, and conditioning of electrodes (Annex B); general information and an explanation of the classification system (Annex C); descriptions and intended uses of the welding filler metals and allied materials (Annexes D and E); information on diffusible hydrogen (Annex F); and information on certification (Annex G).
The Standard has also been rewritten in such a manner to facilitate ease of use and future revisions with respect to adoption of other regional and international standards. During preparation of this revision, close liaison was maintained between AWS and ISO to create a robust Canadian Standard supporting global efforts towards standard harmonization while satisfying the specific and unique technical requirements of Canadian industry.
This Standard was prepared by the Technical Committee on Welding Filler Metals, under the jurisdiction of the Strategic Steering Committee on Construction and Infrastructure, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee.
