    ALBERTA BOILERS SAFETY

    ASSOCIATION

    Information Bulletin No. IB02-007 October 18, 2002

    VARIANCE

    In accordance with Section 38(1) of the Safety Codes Act, a variance is hereby
    issued for equivalency to Section 6 of the Pressure Welders Regulation
    (Alberta Regulation 169/2002).

    Effective October 1, 2002, performance qualification cards that conform to the requirements
    of an issuing authorized testing organization s quality system as accepted by ABSA are
    deemed acceptable as performance qualification cards under Section 6 of the Pressure
    Welders Regulations provided all of the following conditions are satisfied:

    i) the performance qualification card is issued by an authorized testing


    organization prior to October 1, 2003,
    ii) the authorized testing organization s certificate of authorization to conduct the
    specified activities in the quality system was issued prior to October 1, 2002,
    iii) the performance qualification card shall expire on the expiry date indicated on
    the card, but no later than September 30, 2005.

    The expiry date of the performance qualification card issued under this variance shall not be
    extended under the provisions of section 8(8) of the Pressure Welders Regulations.

    Background

    The Pressure Welders Regulation that came into force on October 1, 2002 includes
    requirements for items that must be addressed on a performance qualification card issued to
    a pressure welder by an authorized testing organization. The requirements include
    additional items that were not specified in the Pressure Welders Regulations (Alberta
    Regulation 229/75) that was in force prior to October 1, 2002. The purpose of this variance
    is to facilitate compliance with the new Regulation by allowing a period of time for authorized
    testing organizations to revise their existing quality systems to address the new
    requirements of Section 6 of the Regulation and implement those revisions, while continuing
    to issue performance qualification cards to previously acceptable standards.
