What is the focus of Part 8?

Part 8 of the Ontario Building Code specifically addresses the construction and operation of sewage systems, particularly those with a capacity of up to 10,000 liters. This part is vital because it establishes essential standards for the design and functioning of on-site sewage systems, ensuring safety, environmental protection, and public health. It covers aspects such as the site evaluation, system sizing, installation procedures, and maintenance requirements, all of which ensure that these systems can function efficiently without compromising the surrounding environment or public safety.

The other options relate to different aspects of building codes or regulations that do not fall under Part 8. The design and installation of heating systems are found in other parts, while hazardous waste management and fire resistance criteria pertain to separate sections within the Building Code that focus on those specific issues. Thus, the emphasis of Part 8 is firmly on sewage systems and their management.
