Notes:

'The BC Building Code (BCBC) and BC Fire Code (BCFC) each contain provisions that deal with the safety of persons in buildings in the event of a fire and the protection of buildings from the effects of fire. The British Columbia Fire Code also applies to other types of facilities besides buildings (e.g. tank farms and storage yards). These codes are developed as complementary and coordinated documents to minimize the possibility of their containing conflicting provisions. It is expected that buildings comply with both the BCBC and the BCFC. The BCBC generally applies at the time of construction and reconstruction while the BCFC applies to the operation and maintenance of the fire-related features of buildings in use.'--p. iii.
'The BC fire code contains technical requirements designed to provide an acceptable level of fire safety within a community. It applies the core concepts of the National Fire Code, combined with elements specific to BC's unique needs.'--British Columbia Codes, 2012 orders web page.
'The BC Fire Code is a regulation of the Fire Services Act, and is based on the model 2010 National Fire Code of Canada. The 2012 British Columbia Fire Code succeeds the 2006 British Columbia Fire Code'--p. iii.
B.C. Reg. 263/2012, effective date of December 20, 2012.
