Oh, and since it says you're in Canada, you can even cite national CA law.
Clock's ticking.
LOL. No, life safety is a State / Provincial matter, unlike vehicle safety, both in Canada (CMVSS) and the US (FMVSS).
But I'm glad you at least understand universally required life safety items.
And, you're unable to support any of your other made up claims with facts, which isn't surprising.
No, not in the slightest, LOL.
Just because all 50 States have adopted the same code standards it doesn't mean it is not a national standard does it?
There's this new thing, they call it "Google", by typing "State Code NFPA 1192"" I found a handful of examples in just a moment;
Nebraska Clicky
Washington Clicky
California Clicky
Oregon Clicky
Do you need the other 46 examples too?
I don't understand why this is such a difficult concept, each State has responsibility for issuing building permits and enforcing the need to have one, yet the National Building, Electric and Plumbing Codes are the cited standards that must be met.
This best summed up by the following quote from the website of an engineering company that does those certifications;
" Currently in the United States, the requirement for a Compliance/Certification label on an RV is recognized in all fifty States and the District of Columbia. Additionally, there are certain States that maintain their own oversight programs and issue a required State-specific Certification Label.
The Certification Label is a statement from the manufacturer or oversight authority that the product is manufactured to the applicable codes and standards. Those standards are the NFPA 1192 2015 Edition, (Recreational Vehicles) the ANSI A119.5 2009 Edition, (Park Models/Tiny Homes), and the National electrical Code Sections 551 and 552 respectively. This certification label can be sourced from any one of several Certified Agencies such as PWA, or an Industry Association. The Industry Association label is administered to their members as a requirement of membership, however, there are many manufacturers that are not members of an Industry Association and as such, they source certification labels from one of the other recognized Certification Agencies."
