Free Access to CSA Standards - April 2026
We’re proud to share that, through a partnership with the CSA Group, Canadians will continue to have free access to several CSA standards that support safety, sustainability, and innovation in energy development.
This continued access to safety standards, including CSA Z662, the main safety standard for designing, building and operating pipelines in Canada, is made possible by a five-year investment from the Western Regulators Forum (WRF) — a collaboration between the BC Energy Regulator, Canada Energy Regulator, Alberta Energy Regulator, Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources and the Office of the Regulator of Oil and Gas Operations in the Northwest Territories.
Together, we’re helping ensure the standards that guide our industry remain accessible to everyone.
You can download the standards for free from the CSA Group website. Follow these instructions to get started.
