Now Available: Intent Statements for the 2020 National Model Codes

The Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes (CBHCC) has released the Intent Statements supplement to the 2020 National Model Codes. These documents explain the rationale behind requirements in the Codes and support code users in interpreting and applying acceptable solutions.

The Intent Statements also help code users understand what alternative solutions must meet. These statements are a resource for professionals who rely on the Codes for design, construction, enforcement, and compliance.

The Intent Statements are available to view or download for free by visiting the NRC’s Publications Archive.

More information about the code development process and the CBHCC can be found on the CBHCC’s website.
