How do I know what division is right for the work I need done?  

This depends on the kind of work you need done.  Some design and product codes are specific about the Division required, while others are silent.  In other cases, the owner of the project/structure/final product may specify the Division in the contract documents.  Some common examples:  

Code / Standard / Product Specification

Division Required

CSA S16 (Steel Structures )

Division 1 or 2.  Division 3 is permitted only if the work is sublet to the Division 3 company by a Division 1 or 2 company.

No Division specified.

No Division specified.

CSA Z267 (Safety Code for Amusement Rides)
