Scope:

This standard specifies the minimum quality requirements for the manufacture of metal-plate-connected wood trusses in order to enable wood truss manufacturers to demonstrate conformance with industry standards.  This standard is intended to be referenced in conjunction with an in-plant quality assurance program

Project need:

This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of The Canadian Wood Truss Association. It will provide the industry with standardized certification requirements for the manufacture of of wood trusses connected with metal plates, which can be referenced in specifications, standards, and codes. This will meet the strategic needs of the following key interests: a) ensuring that the latest innovative, technology, and consistent quality requirements are available for users, b) addressing needs of regulators by providing suitable requirements; and c) supporting certification bodies. Geographic Representation: The CSA technical committee has a broad range of geographic representation including Canada (British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick), New Zealand and the USA. Use of “CAN” descriptor is not necessary for this project
