Decision summary

Two comments were received. All were relevant and will have responses posted.

Decision details

Comment one noted a typo and an outdated reference nomenclature to a CSA standard. This will be corrected.

Comment two asked for clarification on whether 500 MPa reinforcing steel recently introduced as mandatory on structures can be used in roadside safety hardware. The response clarifies that reinforcing steel used in crash testing should be specified in hardware or components used by MTO and none uses 500 MPa rebar.
