Canadian regulations

Federal regulations are enforced in conjunction with provincial regulations whose specifications may be more stringent. 

The Ontario province guidelines for the refining industry particularly involve the five parameters listed below and are considered as representative  

Compliance with the above concentrations must go hand in hand with compliance on corresponding specific refinery pollutant loads expressed in kilograms per day to prevent dilution.

BP 1100X (BP Trading Ltd.) and Oilsperse 43 (Diachem of B.C. Ltd.) were studied. Canadian regulations recommend a ratio of 1 10 for the application of dispersant on spilled oil to effect "maximal dispersion" we used a larger proportion of dispersant.

The minimum solids content to meet U.S.D.A and Canadian regulations is 66% total solids (at 20 °C in Canada, unspecified in the U.S. Standards). Individual states in the U.S. are able to set their own standards. Vermont and New Hampshire set a minimum of 66.9 °Bx (at 60 °F). Some jurisdictions set an upper density limit (typically 68.9% solids), whereas others do not. Density is generally measured with a hydrometer, hydrotherm, or, increasingly with refractometers, although regulations often specify the "legal method in each area. 

Because wine yeasts are classified as processing aids by American and Canadian regulators, wines made with GM yeasts are not required to be labelled as such. While no winemakers from these two countries have admitted to using MLOl or ECMoOl, it is common knowledge that these GM yeasts have been used, albeit on a very limited scale for understandable reasons, in the current anti-GMO climate, users prefer to keep this confidential.

An accident of any kind has occurred. In the United States a transportation accident must be reported to DOT by the carrier as required by 49 CFR 171.15-16 [1]. Applicable Canadian regulations define requirements for immediate or 30-day reporting of incidents involving dangerous goods and packaging or containers. 

A cylinder must be rejected when the remaining wall thickness in an area having crevice corrosion, line corrosion, or general corrosion is less than the minimum allowable wall thickness obtained using the maximum wall stress limitation in 49 CFR 173 or equivalent Canadian regulations [1,2]. 

Also, aluminum cylinders that have been subjected to fire or excessive heat must be condemned as required by 49 CFR 173.34 and equivalent Canadian regulations [1,2]. 

Canadian regulations generally mirror the U.S. regulatory requirements. Contact your supplier or the appropriate federal, provincial, or local authorities for more detailed information. 

Pressure relief device A pressure- or temperature-actuated device used to prevent the pressure from rising above a predetermined maximum and thereby prevent the rupture of a normally charged cylinder when subjected to a standard fire test as required by 49 CFR 173.34(d) or equivalent Canadian regulations. 

One major difference between the U.S. Department of Transportation and Transport Canada regulations is that the Canadian government has introduced a new classification for certain types of gases under the hazard class of corrosive gases. In addition, the Canadian regulations call for pictorial placards and labels, and the use of wo- ds is virtually eliminated. 

See Title 49 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR) Part 178, or equivalent Canadian regulations, for detailed specification requirements for cylinder manufacture. [1] and [2]... 

Regulations in the United States and Canada are essentially identical with regard to safety requirements. However, some significant differences in the Canadian regulations include the elimination of the 10 percent overfilling allowance above the specified ser-... 

In 49 CFR 173.34 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations and equivalent Canadian regulations, DOT and TC state that results of required five-year (or when applicable, ten-year) periodic inspections of a cylinder be recorded and that a record be kept by the owner or the owner s authorized agent either until the expiration of the retest period or until the cylinder is again reinspected or retested, whichever occurs first. [1] and [2] Also, a cylinder which passes the inspection prescribed must have the date recorded on the cylinder in the manner currently prescribed for recording the retest date. Note that an E is to follow the date (month and year) when requalification by the visual external inspection method is allowed in lieu of hydrostatic retesting.
