What qualifications are outlined for officials and installers in Part 3 of Division C?

The qualifications outlined for officials and installers in Part 3 of Division C of the Ontario Building Code specifically emphasize the roles of chief building officials and registered code agencies. Chief building officials are responsible for the enforcement of the building code, ensuring that all construction meets the defined standards. Their role requires a thorough understanding of the building code, familiarity with applicable laws, and the ability to assess compliance effectively.

Registered code agencies play an essential function in reviewing plans and specifications to ensure compliance with the building code. These entities must possess an understanding of the technical requirements set forth in the code and have the personnel qualified to evaluate construction practices and systems accurately.

In contrast, architects and structural engineers are typically involved in the design and planning stages but do not directly pertain to the qualifications for code enforcement officials. General contractors and subcontractors are engaged in the execution of construction work rather than the code administration process, while civil engineers and electrical inspectors focus on specific aspects of construction but do not encompass the broader qualifications for chief building officials or registered code agencies as outlined in this context.
