TSSA registration
TSSA is the abbreviation for Technical Standards&Safety Authority and is the Technical Standards and Safety Agency of Ontario, Canada. Responsible for safety certification services in areas such as pressure vessels, entertainment equipment, filler registration, and fuel.
The 'Upholsted and Stuffed Articles Program' of the Technical Standards and Safety Act protects the public from potential hazards associated with the use of cushion and filler products sold in the Ontario market.
We ensure that domestic and foreign manufacturers, refurbishers, and home product enthusiasts only use brand new and clean fillers in their products, and correctly label the ingredients of the fillers on labels for public reference.
Our goal is to protect consumers from counterfeit soft cushions and fillers, and to provide manufacturers and retailers with a high level of business platform.
Inspection services
TSSA conducts random surprise inspections on manufacturers, refurbishers, home product enthusiasts, importers/distributors, retailers, and suppliers of cushion and filler products. This requires sampling inspection of the materials contained in product accessories and finished products to ensure that the product meets the requirements of current regulations for soft cushions and fillers.
If it is found that the product does not meet safety standards, TSSA may file a lawsuit against the individual and/or company involved under the Ontario Criminal Code.

If you wish to sell cushion or filler products in the Ontario market, please ensure that the manufacturer of such products is registered.
Please note that agents, importers/distributors, and retailers do not have registration qualifications, but can register on behalf of manufacturers.
Once a registration number is issued, the product must be labeled with the correct release label, indicating the manufacturer's license number and filler ingredients.
