TORONTO, Dec. 6, 2017 /CNW/ -- The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) has named Underwriters Laboratories of Canada Inc. (ULC) as an accredited Inspection Body (IB) for performing Field Evaluations (FE) of Gas-fired Appliances & Equipment (A&E). As an accredited SCC IB, ULC will now be able to expand its suite of services to work with owners and operators to help ensure their gas-fired appliances and equipment are in compliance with the B149 Gas Code and other published requirements. This expansion to the current scope opens the doors for ULC to deliver field evaluation services as an SCC Accredited Inspection Body in all Canadian provinces and territories. With this IB accreditation, ULC positions itself to further support the safety mandate of code authorities having jurisdiction across the country.
"ULC is very pleased to make this announcement today because it means that we can provide another value-added service in this industry which is so very important to the Canadian economy," said Joe Hosey, general manager of ULC.
