CAN/ULC 515:2024 Standard for Automobile Fire Fighting Apparatus
PREFACE
This is the Fourth Edition of the Standard for Automobile Fire Fighting Apparatus, CAN/ULC 515.
This Standard has been developed in compliance with the requirements of Standards Council of Canada (SCC) for accreditation of a Standards Development Organization.
Only metric SI units of measurement are used in this Standard. If a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units in parentheses, the second value may be approximate. The first stated value is the requirement.
All references to values of pressure and vacuum, unless otherwise indicated, shall be considered as “gauge”.
Annex A and B, identified as Informative, (is) are for information purposes only.
In Canada, there are two official languages, English and French. All safety warnings must be in French and English. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some Canadian authorities may require additional markings and/or installation instructions to be in both official languages.
This Fourth Edition National Standard of Canada is based on, and now supersedes, the Third Edition.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Canadian standard may be the subject of patent rights. ULC Standards shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Requests for interpretation of this Standard should be sent to ULC Standards. The requests should be worded in such a manner as to permit a “yes” or “no” answer based on the literal text of the requirement concerned.
This CAN/ULC 515 Standard is under continuous maintenance, whereby each revision is approved in compliance with the requirements of SCC for accreditation of a Standards Development Organization. In the event that no revisions are issued for a period of four years from the date of publication, action to revise, reaffirm, or withdraw the standard shall be initiated.
Comments or proposals for revisions on any part of the Standard may be submitted at any time. Proposals should be submitted via a Proposal Request in the Collaborative Standards Development System (CSDS) at https://csds.ul.com.
This Standard is intended to be used for conformity assessment.
1 Scope
1.1 This Standard defines the minimum requirements for the design, performance, acceptance criteria,
and testing of new automotive fire apparatus, wildland fire apparatus, wildland fire crew carrier apparatus,
and trailers.
