In this Chapter, unless the context indicates otherwise, “Code” means the “National Plumbing Code of Canada 2010” (NRCC 53302) and the “Code national de la plomberie – Canada 2010” (CNRC 53302F), published by the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes, National Research Council of Canada, as well as all subsequent amendments that may be published by that organization.
Despite the foregoing, amendments published after 29 April 2014 apply to construction work only as of the date that is the last day of the sixth month following the month of publication of the French text of the amendments.
