Technical Standards & Safety Authority
—New Legal Standards
The TSSA is a not-for-profit, self-funded "delegated administrative authority" that administers and enforces public safety laws in various sectors under Ontario's Technical Standards and Safety Act.
In the next few months the TSSA will be enforcing the Field Approval Program which was first introduced in 2006. This program provides for approval of appliances, equipment and components, which are custom-made, one of a kind, built on site or in limited numbers not conducive to certification by certification organizations. The program is not intended to circumvent the normal procedure or certification of appliances, equipmenmt and components by designated testing organizations.
Those concession unit operators who do not comply with the TSSA Field Approval Program will be prevented and thus will not be able to order Propane to run their equipment. In some cases the concession unit operator will be shut down immediately
