Common questions
When did New Brunswick's radon requirement take effect?
We have not been able to confirm the exact effective date from a primary New Brunswick government source. The province is currently on the NBC 2020 code, which carries the radon rough-in provision at Subsection 9.13.4. Confirm current applicability with your local building official.
Is this the same requirement as BC, Alberta, and Ontario?
Substantively yes — New Brunswick's code carries the same NBC 9.13.4 rough-in provision, cited to New Brunswick's own adopted code edition.
