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.
Quebec and Manitoba also have similar registration requirements. Therefore, if the product is exported to Canada without a clear sales province, Beide Testing recommends registering in each of the three provinces mentioned above to ensure smooth sales of the product in Canada.
For registration in Manitoba, you must first apply for registration in Ontario and Quebec before you can apply for a registration number in Manitoba, otherwise Manitoba will not accept it.
The following products do not require registration in Manitoba:
