I just wanted some alternate perspectives on this.
CSA W59-18 governs welding in Canada.
What, if any, application does it have to fabrications assembled outside of Canada and imported?
If a product is independently tested and certified by a local professional engineer to perform the end function irrespective of any differences in the foreign material properties and standards from Canadian specs, do the CSA standards that govern the material properties and processes for base metals and welding apply?
My understanding is that only standards as they relate to the final use of the fabrication would apply. That if a professional engineer has reviewed the product and determined through analysis and testing that it is suitable for the application it is designed for, that standards like W59 would not generally apply.
What are your thoughts?
