HWY.3.A : evaluation of American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XII and National Board Inspection Code requirements for the manufacture and continued service of...: T44-3/43-2024E-PDF
"The TDG Directorate as part of the Safety and Security Group at Transport Canada (TC) requires information to determine if adopting the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME) Section XII and National Board Inspection Code (NBIC) requirements in Canada, for highway tanks specifically, would provide an equivalent level of safety. As part of that evaluation, TDG is looking for a requirement-by-requirement comparison of ASME Section XII and NBIC, including Supplement 6 with the Canadian Standards Association B620 National Standard of Canada: Highway tanks and TC portable tanks for the transportation of dangerous goods (CSA B620). The comparison will only include highway tanks and exclude cryogenic portable tanks and ton tanks. The purpose of this analysis is to identify differences in the standards to inform discussions of equivalent level of safety"--page 3.
