Does ASME A17.7/CSA B44.7 replace the A17.1/CSA B44 code?
No. To the contrary, ASME A17.7/CSA B44.7 supplements ASME A17.1/CSA B44. ASME A17.1/CSA B44 will continue to be updated and it is anticipated that the technologies certified pursuant to ASME A17.7/CSA B44.7 will be included in ASME A17.1/CSA B44 over time. Additionally, assessments made using ASME A17.7/CSA B44.7 will often depend on assessing portions of new technologies using ASME A17.1/CSA B44 standards.
