Annex A
Annex A
provides a recommended division of responsibilities between the owner and the manufacturer.
Table A.1
outlines three options that may be adopted by the owner when contract documents are
prepared. Consideration should be given to including the text of
Annex A
in the contract documents, but
if this is done, the owner should clearly specify which option has been adopted.

Annex B
Annex B
deals with the scope of the work and is intended to assist owners preparing contract documents.
The text of
Annex B
may be included in whole or in part in contract documents.
0.4 Use of
Annex C
Annex C
provides a comprehensive listing of the capabilities manufacturers should possess to manufacture
precast concrete products for different applications.
0.5 Use of

Annex D
lists the clauses of CSA A23.1 that correspond to the clauses of this Standard to assist users in
locating topics common to both Standards.
