Looking Ahead: Ontario Fire Code Changes for 2026

New Fire Code Update Takes Effect in January 2026. Ontario is adopting the CAN/ULC-S536:19 Standard for fire alarm inspections, replacing the 2004 edition with stricter, more detailed requirements. For enterprises managing multiple sites, this represents not just a compliance challenge, but also an opportunity to centralize & streamline fire protection oversight.

Budget Impact: Plan up to a 35% Increase

The updated national standard delivers more rigorous, reliable inspections, reflecting new technology, best practices & enhanced testing protocols, with a strong focus on safety, precision & compliance. With more thorough & in depth inspections comes the potential for increased cost. Facilities will need to budget for up to a 35% increase in inspection costs for 2026. Now is the time to review your fire protection budgets & prepare in advance.

Why Inspections May Take Longer

Under the new standard, many enterprises may expect longer inspection times, especially for larger or more complex Fire Alarm Systems. Don’t wait until next year. Contact your Onyx representative today for a tailored inspection estimate based on your building’s system.
