Standards for standby generator maintenance

[katwalatapan]

Hello,

I was looking to find standard practices as well as Canadian standards and code relevant to standby generator maintenance procedures.

I reviewed CSA C282 standard which is applicable for emergency generators i.e. generators backing up life safety systems such as fire pump, emergency lighting, fire alarm panel etc.

I was wondering if the same standard is applicable for standby generators as well i.e. generators that take on regular loads (non-life safety ones). I would appreciate if I could be pointed where to look for to find information on applicable standards for maintenance of diesel and natural gas standby generators in Canada and their frequency i.e. monthly, semi-annually, annually etc.

Thank you.

Thank you for the response. Could it be that the only difference in maintenance of standby v/s emergency generator is schedule i.e. monthly and annually for standby whereas weekly, monthly, and annually for emergency generator?
