O. Reg. 212/01
O. Reg. 211/01
O. Reg. 212/01
O. Reg. 211/01

Summary of Decision:
Government approved the proposal in May 2015. Stakeholder feedback was generally supportive with a few businesses preferring to continue to use certified technicians. Stakeholders raised some interpretive questions, which TSSA has addressed on their website (www.tssa.org).
The Ontario government has made changes to the Fuel Industry Certificates Regulation, Gaseous Fuels Regulation, and Propane Storage and Handling Regulation (O. Reg. 215/01, 212/01 and 211/01) of the Technical Standards and Safety Act, 2000. The changes pertain to the qualification and training requirements for retailers who perform assembly work on certain portable outdoor fuel-burning appliances (e.g., gas barbecues) for customers.
Additional information can be found on TSSA's website at www.tssa.org.
