Some CSA standards for petroleum and natural gas industry

CSA (Canadian Standards Association) is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada, a government agency that promotes efficient and effective standardization in Canada. This accreditation confirms that CSA is capable of performing the tasks of standards development and certification and is based on internationally recognized criteria and procedures.

Below an overview of some CSA standards for petroleum and natural gas industry

CSA Std	Title and Description
Z662	Oil and gas pipeline systems ▸This Standard covers the design, construction, operation, maintenance, deactivation, and abandonment of oil and gas industry pipeline systems that convey.
Z245.1	Steel pipe ▸This Standard covers seamless pipe, electric-welded pipe (flash-welded pipe and low-frequency electricwelded pipe excluded) and submerged-arc-welded pipe primarily intended for use in oil or gas pipeline systems.
Z245.6	Coiled Aluminum Line Pipe and Accessories ▸This Standard specifies requirements for coiled aluminum line pipe and accessories primarily intended for use in oil and gas pipeline systems.
Z245.11	Steel fittings ▸This Standard covers wrought steel buttwelding fittings, including extruded headers and factory-made induction or cold bends, primarily intended for use in oil or gas pipeline systems.
Z245.12	Steel flanges ▸This Standard covers wrought steel welding neck and blind flanges primarily intended for use in oil or gas pipeline systems.
Z245.15	Steel valves ▸This Standard covers steel valves primarily intended for use in oil or gas pipeline systems.
Z245.16	Induction bends ▸A description is not available for this item.
Z245.17	Cold bends ▸A description is not available for this item.
Z245.20	Plant-applied external coatings for steel pipe (Series includes Z245.20, Z245.21, and Z245.22) ▸This Standard covers the qualification, application, inspection, testing, handling, and storage of materials required for plant-applied fusion bond epoxy (FBE) coating applied externally to bare steel pipe. The coated pipe is intended primarily for buried or submerged service for oil or gas pipeline systems.
Z245.30	Field-applied external coatings for steel pipeline systems ▸This Standard covers the qualification, application, inspection, testing, handling, and storage of materials required for coatings applied externally to steel piping in the field or a shop. Coated piping addressed by this Standard is intended primarily for buried or submerged service in oil or gas pipeline systems.
Z246.1	Security management for petroleum and natural gas industry systems ▸This Standard specifies criteria for establishing a security management program for petroleum and natural gas industry systems to ensure security threats and associated risks are identified and managed. This Standard provides mitigation and response processes and procedures to prevent and minimize the impact of security incidents that could adversely affect people, the environment, assets, and economic stability.
Z246.2	Emergency Preparedness and response for petroleum and natural gas industry systems ▸This Standard establishes criteria for emergency preparedness and response for the petroleum and natural gas industry systems. Note: Prevention, continuity, and recovery are addressed in other standards.
Z247	Damage prevention for the protection of underground infrastructure ▸This Standard specifies requirements for preventing damage to underground infrastructure.
Z260	Pipeline system safety metrics ▸This Standard applies to oil and gas industry pipeline systems that convey liquid hydrocarbons, including crude oil, multiphase fluids, condensate, liquid petroleum products etc.
Z276	Liquefied natural gas (LNG) - Production storage and handling ▸This Standard applies to the design, location, construction, operation and maintenance of facilities for the liquefaction of natural gas and facilities for the storage, vaporization, transfer, handling, and truck transport of LNG. It also contains requirements for the training of personnel.
Z341	Storage of hydrocarbons in underground formations (Series includes CSA Z341.1, CSA Z341.2, and CSA Z341.4) ▸This Standard sets out minimum requirements for the design, construction, operation, maintenance, abandonment, and safety of hydrocarbon storage in underground reservoir formations and associated equipment.
Z620.1	Reduction of fugitive and vented emissions for upstream petroleum and natural gas industry systems ▸This Standard specifies criteria to develop emission reduction practices and programs.
Z620.2	Compressor seal vent gas flow rate testing and recording ▸A description is not available for this item.
Z620.3	Flaring, incineration, and enclosed combustion ▸A description is not available for this item.
Z624	Well integrity management for petroleum and natural gas industry systems ▸This Standard covers the integrity management for the life cycle of wells in the land-based upstream sector of the petroleum and natural gas industry.
Z625	Well design for petroleum and natural gas industry systems ▸This Standard covers the design of wells in the land-based upstream sector of the petroleum and natural gas industry.
Z663	Land use planning in the vicinity of pipeline systems ▸This Standard provides minimum requirements, guidance, and best practices for land use planning and development processes in the vicinity of existing pipeline systems etc.
