Scope:

Note: This NOI (originally published on July 18, 2023) was reissued by the responsible SDO on August 20, 2024. 
 

This standard specifies safety requirements for the design, installation and operation of multi-fuel vehicle refuelling stations, which would include traditional and alternative fuels (e.g. gasoline, diesel, propane, battery electric, compressed natural gas and gaseous/liquid hydrogen), and provides guidance on the approval process for the station. The standard will reference existing codes and standards where applicable and develop additional requirements to address gaps as needed, to allow for dispensing several different fuels at a single site. For example, references may include:

  • CSA C22.1
  • CSA B51
  • CSA B108.1
  • CSA B108.2
  • CSA B149.1
  • CSA B149.2
  • CAN/BNQ 1784-000

Project need:

The transportation sector is experiencing significant growth in both vehicle technology and related energy and fuel type availability. With new vehicles and fuel types has come the demand for public and private multiple fuel refueling stations that maximize fuel offerings and minimize station footprint. Stakeholders, including station owners, fleet operators, and regulators have indicated the absence of comprehensive guidance on how to implement a multiple fuel refueling station in North America. As a result, stakeholders support the development of a new standard that outlines requirements and recommendations to support the deployment of multiple fuel refueling stations across Canada.

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.

Individual SDOs are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information presented here. The text is presented in the language in which it was provided to SCC.
