List of Safety Standards (CSA or CGSB or Transport Canada standards)

The means of containment standards deal separately with the selection and use of containers for dangerous goods transport from the design, manufacturing, certification and maintenance of those containers. Separate standards, or distinct chapters within the standards, apply for these purposes as indicated in the titles below. Part 5 of the TDG Regulations prescribes the container selection and use standard or requirement that for particular dangerous goods, and these in turn invoke the manufacturing, certification and maintenance standards that apply. Since the TDG Regulations take precedence and may prescribe exceptions or additional requirements to the standards always consult the TDG Regulations in conjunction with the standards.

If applicable, paragraph 1.3.1, of the TDG Regulations specifies the edition of each standard and any amendments that are prescribed.
