What does Part 7 govern?

Part 7 of the Ontario Building Code specifically relates to the design, construction, and installation of plumbing systems within properties. This includes regulations that ensure plumbing installations meet safety, health, and environmental standards.

Plumbing systems are critical for the delivery of water and disposal of waste, and thus they must adhere to strict codes to prevent hazards such as leaks, contamination, and structural failures. The requirements outlined in Part 7 promote the safe and efficient operation of water supply systems, drainage, and other plumbing components, ensuring they function properly within the built environment.

Understanding the requirements of Part 7 is essential for builders, plumbers, and property owners to ensure compliance with provincial regulations and to maintain public safety and health standards.
