Editor's Notes

1. Simply defined, standards are documents that describe the important features of a product, service or system. There are thousands of standards in use around the world that cover everything, from the simplest screw thread to the most complex information technology network.The National Standards System is the network of
2. The basic process by which a standard is developed is consistent among all standard development organizations, national and international. The following is a simplified
3. These key phrases are not defined by the law, but the Canada Evidence Act, as well as most provincial and territorial evidence acts, contains the following provision, encouraging the use of standards:31.5 For the purpose of determining under any rule of law whether an electronic document is admissible, evidence may be presented in respect of any standard, procedure, usage or practice concerning the manner in which electronic documents are to be recorded or stored, having regard to the type of business, enterprise or endeavour that used, recorded or stored the electronic document and the nature and purpose of the electronic document..
4. This standard can be applied to the policies, procedures, practices and documentation that organizations need to establish the integrity and authenticity of recorded information on field notes, plans, sketches, as-builts, GIS systems, or other data/information management systemsIts technology-neutral language allows organizations to apply the procedures to various types and combinations of Information Technology“…as per CSA s250 statements - will assist them in demonstrating compliance with legal requirements, without dictating the types of technology required. As a codification of best practices become more embedded into the evolution of this standard, organizations can and will be able to rely on this standard if they implement the appropriate procedures and follow them. Applying the standard to an organization’s business will not eliminate the possibility of litigation, but it will make the production of electronic records easier and their acceptance in a legal proceeding more certain.
5. Owners, operators and regulators nationwide want to better manage record the existence, identification, and depiction, and location of buried plant during the planning, design, construction and operation, retirement phases.The development of a standard for mapping of underground utility infrastructure is a logical next step, building on best practicesRefer back to Common Ground Alliance in Ontario and BCInfrastructure challenges:Defintions, terms, symbology, features, have known meaning and can be applied to :Cost management issues, business disruptions to revenue stream, disruption to other utilities, damage prevention, , Time cost, coordination, reduced right of way size, conjestion, no cut moritoriums, advancements of trench technology, -By improving communication between infrastructure stakeholders there is a better opportunity to cooperate and collaborate rather than work in isolotion – co-builds, joint trenching,
6. Leader in developing standards in Canada since founded in 1919.Originally known as the “Canadian Engineering Standards Association”215 Staff9,000 volunteer members worldwideOver 3,000 publications covering 54 technology areasOver 40% of its Standards are referenced in legislationOffers 600+ training events a year attended by 8,500+ students<number>
7. So what is infrastructure? Is defined from two perspectives. First, the services that it provides to individuals, and communities. Also, it’s useful to establish a few different categories for infrastructure – categories may differ from organization to organizationI won’t discuss fleets, ships, aircraft, vehicles or rolling stock but will consider the transportation networks, ports and border crossings that they useThe first five categories of infrastructure are particularly sensitive to wind and water, and extreme climatic events as we’ll see through some examples Climatic parameters: things like wind speed, intensity of precipitation, temperature – not only in real time, but over very long time periods
8. Standards are part science and part art. They can cover a number of areas including:stipulating requirements for use, safety levels and/or performance of products and servicesoutlining industry guidelines or best practices encompassing the design, maintenance, installation or operation of a product or service.CSA facilitates the standards development process by drawing together volunteers from government, industry, associations, business, health, and consumers who have diverse technical knowledge, perspectives, experiences and technical skill sets. Thus, CSA standards are the culmination of the diverse knowledge and expertise of the members who develop them. Many CSA standards are cited in legislation at federal, provincial, state and municipal levels across North America. Many are also internationally or regionally harmonized.
9. Technical Committee On Mapping of Underground Utility Infrastructure Terms of Reference DECEMBER 17, 2007 Note: This document is supplementary to the CSA By-Laws, CSA Policy Governing Standardization — Code of Good Practice for Standardization (CSA-SDP-1), and the CSA Directives and Guidelines Governing Standardization (CSA-SDP-2, Parts 1, 2 and 3), which are based on the principles of the consensus process. These Terms of Reference were approved by the Strategic Steering Committee (SSC) on December 17, 2007, SSC ballot number 5006. 1. Authorization 1.1 The Technical Committee on Mapping of Underground Utility Infrastructure (hereinafter called the Committee) operates under the authority of the Strategic Steering Committee on Structures (Design). 1.2 Amendments to these terms of reference shall be prepared by CSA staff, in consultation with the executive committee, chair, or chair designate, and referred to the SSC for approval. 2. Scope 2.1 The Committee shall be responsible for developing and maintaining standards related to mapping and recording of existing in-service underground utility infrastructure and related appurtenances below, at, or near grade and those that are either abandoned or that are reserved for future use. 2.2 The scope of the Committee does not include utility infrastructure that persist above grade such as overhead wires, pole-mounted transformers, antennas and dishes. <number>
10. The standard applies to those who receive, create, capture, maintain, use, store or dispose of utility related mapping records. This standard applies to private and public sector activities of Persons irrespective of whether such activities are undertaken on a for-profit or not-for-profit basisThis standard is intended for use by those who want to improve the assurance that the reocrds they hold are trustworthy, reliable and recognized as authentic.Concensus Based Approach:
11. 3. Committee Structure3.1 Categories Members shall represent the following categories on the basis of their predominant interest in the products or services detailed in Clause 2.1 of these terms of reference: (a) User Interest (UI) — this category shall include those who are predominantly involved with the supply of services related to the mapping, locating, excavating, data capture and creating, and/or construction of the underground utility infrastructure; (b) General Interest (GI) — this category shall include those who are predominantly involved in providing planning and design services, and those who are not associated in any way with the supply of services related to the mapping, locating, excavating, data capture and creating, construction, ownership, operation and/or regulation of the underground utility infrastructure. This category may include professionals employed by academic and scientific institutions; (c) Carriers (CA) - this category shall include those who are predominantly involved with the ownership and/or operation of an underground utility infrastructure; and (d) Regulatory Authority (RA) — this category shall include those who are predominantly involved in regulating the use and operation of the underground utility infrastructure.
12. life cycle of records stages in the life cycle of a record include but are not limited to its planning, creation and organization; the receipt and capture of data; the retrieval, processing, dissemination and distribution of data; its storage, maintenance and protection; its archival preservation or destruction or xpungement
13. in general, apply on a go-forward basisbe easily implemented and adhered so that it can be adopted as regulatory requirement
14. incorporate Standard for mapping into municipal access agreements, rfp contract documents
