This handbook deals with the construction and maintenance of various types of ranges.

The information in this publication relates to range planning, layout and maintenance.

The primary aim of this volume is to present basic standards in order to achieve a degree of national standardization in range construction and layout in the various units and bases across Canada.

These basic standards can also be used as points of departure for engineers when developing plans for future ranges. In addition, those responsible for range maintenance can refer to this volume for information on the maintenance and inspections that have to be performed.
