This is the second edition of CSA S269.1, Falsework and formwork. It supersedes the previous edition published in 1975 under the title Falsework for Construction Purposes.
The following are the significant changes from the previous edition of this Standard:
a) Provisions are now included for limit states design (LSD) while keeping provisions for allowable stress design (ASD), thereby letting the designer choose the method most appropriate. The aim in including LSD requirements is to be at least as safe as the existing ASD requirements.
b) This Standard combines the previous CSA S269.1 (dealing with falsework) and CSA S269.3 (dealing with formwork) into one Standard to eliminate redundancy and improve user readability.
c) A section on specialized formwork and falsework has been added.
d) A new Annex A on plywood has been added.
e) Updates have been made to scope, definitions, reference Standards, design, drawings, site activities, testing, figures, and tables. The updates will make this Standard more current and compatible with other similar documents.

These Standards and Guidelines have been developed as a resource for designers and owners of ferry boarding facilities operated in Canadian waters. Their purpose is to provide a consolidated standard of minimum requirements and guidelines for the design, operation, inspection, and maintenance of such facilities. Additionally, they are intended to encompass items not addressed in other standards.
These Standards reflect the diversity of ferry boarding facilities and their operating environments throughout Canada and are therefore based on general principles and objectives. Requirements are expressed in broad terms so that they may have the widest possible national application.
To accommodate the diversity of applications in Canada, the provisions set out by these Standards combine both code requirements and guidelines. In general, the design Standard (CSA S826.1) and the inspection Standard (CSA S826.3) are Standards expressed in mandatory language. The operations (CSA S826.2) and maintenance (CSA S826.4) Guidelines are expressed in recommendatory language.

This is the third edition of CSA N289.4, Testing procedures for seismic qualification of nuclear power plant structures, systems, and components. It supersedes the previous editions published in 2012 and 1986.
The major changes to this edition include the following:
a) This Standard was re-structured to consolidate all sub-clauses for the following topics: purchaser’s scope, testing lab’s scope, testing methods, and documentation.
b) The distinction of proof vs. fragility testing was elaborated and enhanced guidance was provided to remove any ambiguity.
c) More explanation was added on the differences between required response spectrum, test response spectrum, required input motion, and table input motion.
d) Requirements related to the disposition of the anomalies found during seismic testing were elaborated.
e) The requirements on seismic aging prior to the seismic testing was made consistent with international practice.
f) Application of the static side load as one of the methods of testing was elaborated.
g) Annex F was improved by clarifying several aspects, such as
i) affidavit replaced by engineer’s certification;
ii) introduction of separate tables for Category A & B valves;
iii) relief valves separated from other valves;
iv) a comprehensive list of available methods of seismic qualification;
v) clarity on use of side load testing; and
vi) clarity regarding hard mounted and line mounted components, including definitions of these terms.
h) The previous Annexes D and E have been combined into one Annex (now Annex D).
Standards in the CSA N289 Series of Standards were initiated in response to the recognition on the part of the utilities and industries concerned with nuclear facilities in Canada of a need for consistent standards for seismic design and qualification of nuclear structures, systems, and components (SSCs) of nuclear power plants. Users of this Standard should recognize that it has the force of law only when adopted by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) or the appropriate authority having jurisdiction (in countries other than Canada).
The purpose of this Standard is to provide a basis for the development of specifications for seismic qualification by testing, and to aid purchasers, suppliers, and testing laboratories in selecting the appropriate test method(s) for performing acceptable seismic qualification tests that meet a quality and standard commensurate with the safety principles necessary to comply with the Canadian nuclear safety philosophy.
The CSA N289 Series consists of five separate Standards. Some of the objectives of each Standard are summarized as follows:
a) N289.1-18, General requirements for seismic design and qualification of nuclear power plants, provides guidelines for identifying structures and systems requiring seismic qualification based on nuclear safety considerations;
b) N289.2:21, Ground motion determination for seismic qualification of nuclear power plants, determines the appropriate seismic ground motion parameters for a particular site;
c) N289.3:20, Design procedures for seismic qualification of nuclear power plants, provides design requirements, criteria, and methods of analysis for:
i) determining the design response spectra and ground motion time-histories to be used in the analysis;
ii) establishing design criteria for structures, systems and components (SSCs), and supports that require seismic qualification; and
iii) performing seismic analyses, including the effects of the soil-structure-interaction;
d) N289.4:22, Testing procedures for seismic qualification of nuclear power plant structures, systems, and components, provides design requirements and methods for seismic qualification of specific components and systems by testing methods; and
e) N289.5-12, Seismic instrumentation requirements for nuclear reactors and nuclear facilities, establishes the requirements for seismic instrumentation and for seismic-related inspection of structures and systems before and after a seismic event.
The CSA N-Series Standards provide an interlinked set of requirements for the management of nuclear facilities and activities. CSA N286 provides overall direction to management to develop and implement sound management practices and controls, while the other CSA Group nuclear Standards provide technical requirements and guidance that support the management system. This Standard works in harmony with CSA N286 and does not duplicate the generic requirements of CSA N286; however, it can provide more specific direction for those requirements.
Users of this Standard are reminded that the design, manufacture, construction, commissioning, operation, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities in Canada are subject to the provisions of the Nuclear Safety and Control Act and its Regulations. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) can therefore impose additional requirements to those specified in this Standard.
This Standard was prepared by the Subcommittee on Testing Procedures for Seismic Qualification of Nuclear Power Plant Structures, Systems, and Components, under the jurisdiction of the Technical Committee on Seismic Design for Nuclear Power Plants and the Strategic Steering Committee on Nuclear Standards, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee.

This is the third edition of CSA N289.2, Ground motion determination for seismic qualification of nuclear power plants. It supersedes the previous editions, published in 2010 and 1981.
The major changes to this edition include the following:
• Clause 4 has been revised to address microearthquake monitoring and induced seismicity.
• Clause 5 has been revised and restructured to provide more details on and differentiate between seismic source characterization and ground motion models (GMMs), and to address the weights associated with both.
• Clause 6 has been revised to address seismic hazard results for near-fault sites, while considering damage potential of earthquakes, and the development of scenario earthquakes.
• A new Clause 7, on evaluation of seismic hazards considering local site conditions, has been introduced to provide a procedure to account for local conditions and for various sources of uncertainty.
• A new Clause 8, an independent peer review, has been introduced to enhance the confidence level of seismic hazard assessment and evaluations.
• A new informative annex (Annex B) has been introduced for processing earthquake motions recorded at the plant site.
• Another new informative annex (Annex C), a bibliography, has been introduced to include recent references and publications associated with the scope of this Standard.
• This Standard has been aligned with recently published CSA Group standards, CNSC Regulatory Documents, and industry documents.
Standards in the CSA N289 series of Standards are developed in response to a recognition by the utilities and industries concerned with nuclear facilities in Canada of a need for the documentation of standards applicable to the seismic design and qualification of nuclear structures, systems, and components (SSCs) of nuclear power plants. Users of this Standard should recognize that it has the force of law only when adopted by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) or the appropriate regulatory body (in countries other than Canada).
The CSA N289 series of Standards consists of five Standards. Some of the objectives of each Standard are summarized as follows:
a) CSA N289.1-18, General requirements for seismic design and qualification of nuclear power plants, provides guidelines for identifying structures and systems requiring seismic qualification based on nuclear safety considerations;
b) CSA N289.2:21, Ground motion determination for seismic qualification of nuclear power plants, determines the appropriate seismic ground motion parameters for a particular site;
c) CSA N289.3:20, Design procedures for seismic qualification of nuclear power plants, provides design requirements, criteria, and methods of analysis for
i) determining the design response spectra and ground motion time-histories to be used in the analysis;
ii) establishing design criteria for SSCs, and supports that require seismic qualification; and
iii) performing seismic analyses, including the effects of the soil-structure interaction;
d) CSA N289.4-12, Testing procedures for seismic qualification of nuclear power plant structures, systems and components, provides design requirements and methods for seismic qualification of specific components and systems by testing methods; and
e) CSA N289.5-12, Seismic instrumentation requirements for nuclear power plants and nuclear facilities, establishes the requirements for seismic instrumentation and for seismic-related inspection of structures and systems before and after a seismic event.
The CSA N-Series Standards provide an interlinked set of requirements for the management of nuclear facilities and activities. CSA N286 provides overall direction to management to develop and implement sound management practices and controls, while the other CSA Group nuclear Standards provide technical requirements and guidance that support the management system.
