Compliance with EUB Directive 041

On July 20, 2006, the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB) approved Directive 041. This directive states that all pipeline licensees “must develop and implement an integrity management program in accordance with CSA Z662-03, Annex N”.

Licensees must develop their integrity management programs by January 1, 2007.

What is Annex N?

According to Directive 041, CSA Z662-03, Annex N is a set of guidelines for ensuring that pipelines are “capable of transporting product safely, without short-term or long-term negative effects on public safety or the environment”.
