Contact TSSA to Ensure Your Amusement Devices Meet Safety Requirements
If your facility operates—or plans to operate—amusement rides or devices, the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) wants to hear from you.
TSSA administers and enforces the Technical Standards and Safety Act, 2000, and the Amusement Devices Regulation. Under these requirements, any amusement ride or device must be properly registered, inspected, and operated in accordance with applicable safety and regulatory standards.
Business owners and operators are responsible for ensuring that all amusement devices at their facilities meet regulatory requirements before being used by the public.
Please contact TSSA at addesignsubmittal@tssa.org if your facility:
- Operates amusement rides or devices that are not currently licensed with TSSA, or
- If you are unsure whether certain equipment falls under the Amusement Devices Regulation
Examples of Regulated Devices
The regulation may apply to a wide range of amusement devices, including but not limited to:
- Inflatable devices (e.g., bounce castles, slides, obstacle courses)
- Standalone dry slides
- Zip lines and aerial adventure attractions
- Virtual reality motion rides or simulators
- Mechanical amusement rides
- Go-karts and bumper cars
- Any devices designed to entertain riders through motion, height, or speed
