Radon control options for new construction in low-rise residential buildings
1 Scope
This National Standard of Canada (NSC) addresses requirements for radon control in the design and construction
of new, low-rise residential buildings (see Definitions).
This Standard provides design criteria, design tools, methods and techniques, and sample construction specifications
to minimize radon entry into new homes prior to initial occupancy and prepare for future mitigation…

Non-sewered sanitation systems — Prefabricated integrated treatment units — General safety and perfo...
This document specifies general safety and performance requirements for design and testing as well as
sustainability considerations for non-sewered sanitation systems (NSSS). A NSSS, for the purposes of this
document, is a prefabricated integrated treatment unit, comprising frontend (toilet facility) and backend
(treatment facility) components that
a) collects, conveys, and fully treats the…
Rubber — Determination of metal content by atomic absorption spectrometry — Part 2: Determination of...
This document specifies an atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of the lead content of rubbers.
The method is applicable to raw rubber and rubber products. There is no limit to the concentration of lead that can be determined. High or low concentrations can be determined, provided that suitable adjustments are made to the mass of the test portion and/or the concentration…
