Key Takeaways:

The Inflatables Compliance Standard took effect on April 13, 2026. The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) will apply the Inflatables Compliance Standard when reviewing remote inspections and permitting of inflatable amusement devices in Ontario.
A Compliance Standard is a list of high-risk non-compliances that TSSA requires operators or installers to attest to when applying for a permit. Operators must address these high-risk non-compliances promptly.
By setting clear expectations for how inflatable owners and operators prepare for and attest to an operation permit, the Inflatables Compliance Standard enhances both the consistency and safety of inflatables across Ontario.
High-risk non-compliances noted on the remote inspection form will not be eligible for device renewal. TSSA will not issue an operation permit if high-risk non-compliances are found on an inflatable ride.
