      iii) requirements for safety glazing materials have been clarified;


      iv) a new requirement for pre-shipment checks; and

      iv) changes to the venting requirements; and


      v) new requirements have been added for the water distribution, drain waste, and shower stall tests.


      d) In CSA Z240.4.2, Installation requirements for propane appliances and equipment in recreational vehicles:


      i) a new requirement has been added for maximum container capacities;


      ii) new requirements have been added for regulators;


      iii) restrictions for branch outlet joints have been removed; and
