The Government of Quebec has proposed draft regulations to amend Chapters II and III of the construction and safety codes related to gas in Quebec City. These changes, open for public consultation until 27 June, focus on updating gas installation rules while incorporating the growing use of hydrogen. The Construction Code amendment includes adopting the Canadian Hydrogen Installation Code and recognizing new inspection bodies for gas installations. The Safety Code amendment introduces stricter safety requirements, such as requalifying gas tank relief valves and requiring more rigorous oversight of risk assessment reports. Minister of Labour Jean Boulet and RBQ's President Michel Beaudoin emphasized the importance of these changes in modernizing the regulatory environment and enhancing safety in the gas industry. The Régie du bâtiment du Québec will supervise the implementation of these new rules, affecting companies involved in gas and hydrogen equipment. The amendments aim to align regulations with technological advancements, ensuring safer use of hydrogen in Quebec's industrial sector.
